Using Paper to Tear Down Walls

RICHMOND-September 2006
-Einbahn Studio this week launched it’s inaugural design competition, 10DollarDesign: Exact Change 2006. This year, Einbahn invites you to submit a design that will strive to right a wrong in the world; it calls upon designers to recognize a cultural misconception and create a poster in an effort to rectify it.

At Einbahn Studio, we believe that “Much of the world’s violence springs from cultural (religious, ethnic, racial or political) prejudice. Such prejudice is based on misperception, misinformation and a lack of understanding or tolerance.

We believe designers have the power to change perception.”

Participants are asked to submit a poster design addressing the issue of their choice. With their poster submissions, participants must also specify where their creation should be displayed to achieve maximum results.

10DollarDesign creates the opportunity for professional and amateur designers alike to be seen by an international audience. One best-in-show winner will receive a cash reward equal to 10% of the total entry fees received, while two runner-ups will receive 5%. All winners and the most impressive will be displayed on the Einbahn Studio website.

Entries will be accepted from September 11th until November 30th, 2006. There is a one-time entry fee of USD $10.00
