PLASTIC WORLDS
Register/Submit Deadline: Friday, Jan 11, 2019

We are now witnessing the exponential growth of a world-wide plastic epidemic, as our planet is becoming covered in man-made waste. The amount of plastic in the ocean is set to increase tenfold by 2020. The urgency to act is the driving force behind this competition: a challenge designed to get the creative community engaged with our plastic world and propose innovative solutions from a design-led solution. In this competition, you are asked to think of ways to fight the plastic problem in our waters: from rivers to oceans.
