Inside2015: Announces Competition Winners

On behalf of the competition organizers, collaborators and supporters, the Morpholio Project congratulates the Inside2015 Winners, Honor Awards and Honorable Mentions. "We tend to think of great design as either being captured in history in the past or so brilliantly futuristic that we can't imagine what it will be. The truth is that the most compelling design work right now merges these ideas." Said Elizabeth Giorgi, Tech Writer at Apartment Therapy. “The entries were ambitious, exploratory, insightful, and full of promise. Seeing the world through their eyes is a good reminder as to why we got into the design world.”Said Caroline Williamson, Managing Editor at Design Milk.

Inside2015 was assembled by designers, professors and students as a means to publically promote the research, exploration and investigation currently happening in academia and amongst today's emerging talent. “The projects question the status quo and remind us all to think more creatively.” Said Mark Wilson of Fast Company Design. David Bright of Knoll, Inc. said “They address complex problems through a direct approach to design.” All of the submissions exemplified outstanding work and the competition organizers are grateful for the enormous amount of entrants who were bold enough to confront the world with their voice. “It reminds us how important it is to return to some of the basics of creation” said Barrie Benson, Founder of Barrie Benson Interior Design.

This year's honorable jury included Arlene Hirst of T Magazine, Elizabeth Giorgi of Apartment Therapy, Mark Wilson of Fast Company Design, Caroline Williamson of Design Milk, David Bright of Knoll, Inc., Barrie Benson of Barrie Benson Interior Design, Lucy Wang of Inhabitat, Richard Elder of Herman Miller, Inc., Meghan Edwards of Interior Design Magazine at SANDOW, Grace Ehlers of Metropolis Magazine, Brandon Quattrone of Consort Design, Cheryl Durst of International Interior Design Association and Paul Petrunia of ARCHINECT. Inside 2015 would like to give special thanks to ArchDaily, The Morpholio Project, FastCompany, Metropolis Magazine, Design Milk, Interior Design Magazine, the AIAS, IIDA, ADC, AIGA, DBA, Bustler and Archinect for their support of young designers everywhere.

Call for Submissions

Inside 2015 invites students and young professionals to submit a collection of their "inside" work comprised of up to three digital images. By submitting your work, we invite you to share your voice with the collective intelligence of a community of visual thinkers. The Competition is open to all design disciplines including architects, interior designers, furniture designers, digital fabricators, graphic designers, lighting designers, product designers or any other creative field that creates for the inside. The competition is free to all entrants.

The proliferation of device culture, social networking, and cloud technology are changing the way we create, and connect on a daily basis. For design, this means that technology is not only transforming the process of production, but also the processes through which we share, critique, and organize ourselves around the work we do. The competition is first, and foremost an experiment in distributed intelligence. By leveraging the "wisdom of crowds" every entrant can see and understand how his or her work is experienced by others. It has been predicted that in 2020, there will be 50 billion mobile internet connections worldwide, the equivalent of seven devices per person. Thus, this competition is not simply about the existence of technology, but rather why and how we harness it as designers.

Inside2015 poses the following questions: What are the aspirations by which we evaluate design today? In an increasingly networked culture, what makes a project capable of cutting through the virtual noise, and starting a new conversation? How do evolving forms of media affect the way in which your message reaches its destination? What is your message?

The competition challenges you to confront the world with your work. By sending it out into the field you will test yourself and your projects. You are the designer, the curator and the critic.

Inside 2015 was assembled by designers, professors and students as a means to publically promote the research, exploration and investigation currently happening in academia and amongst today's emerging talent. The competition is supported by the AIAS, IIDA, ADC, AIGA and is hosted by The Morpholio Project. We look forward to your participation and recognition.

Judging

Finalists:
A group of finalists will be selected by public viewing called "EyeTime" which captures and records the amount and type of viewing time an image receives. For every second an image or a collection is viewed by others the entrant will accumulate various types of Competition "EyeTme." In addition, the competition organizers will select a minimum of four additional finalists.

Please note:

1. Entrants are permitted and encouraged to Facebook, Tweet, email and post their entry to as many people as they want to help generate "EyeTime".
2. Finalists will be selected on a complex formula of special competition "EyeTime" data. Including but not limited to viewing, hits, zooms and more.
3. Self "EyeTime" will not count and excessive viewing time from a single source will be automatically flagged, limited and evaluated.
4. The EyeTime number you see reflects the full EyeTime for that image, it will NOT reflect the official competition EyeTime which takes into account select time periods as well as several other competition factors noted above.

Winners:
For each category there will be a winner(s) selected from the finalists by the guest Jury as well as a winner(s) selected by public "EyeTime."

Guest Jury:
The guest Jury will select a Winner(s) from the finalists.
