The Department of Design and Media in Kymenlaakso University of Applied Sciences, together with Estonian Academy of Arts and University of Art and Design Halle, will organize a design competition for students of design and architecture. The competition will take place between 1st October 2008 and 9th September 2009.

The competition attracted competitors from Finland, Germany, Estonia and Poland. The jury selected 12 concept plans that will continue to the second phase of the competition.

The students concerned are invited to participate in a design event organised in Estonia on 12th and 13th March 2009. The design event begins with a seminar held in Tallinn on 12th March 2009, where societal opinion leaders participate in a discussion on the present state and the future of the Baltic Sea. The next day, the event continues in Viinistu village with tour of the village, the students’ presentation of the competition proposals and the jury’s feedback on them. After the design event, the 12 participating students will process their concept plans for the next phase of the competition which will end on 27th April 2009. In that phase, the jury will select five proposals which will continue to the final.
