At F:unkT Awards we are celebrating products that have evolved out of reflective design processes and enrich human life in vivid ways.
Theme : K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple. Sure?)

A common belief is that simplicity is the core of a good design. But, have you ever wondered that simplicity can be detrimental too?

The detailed requirements of the entries are as follows:

1. Registration.

2. A minimum of 10 Jpeg images and/or 3minute video with information about your project where you describe your project.

The images has to be composed in a web presentation format, where it explains a small aspect of project per image. Avoid use of a lot of text, and put your textual ideas/concepts/descriptions in Q&A sections. The submission requirements do not have an upper limit on image count, but ensure that you use only necessary amount of pictures.

The video does not need to be of production quality, but it is advised to cover the basic ideas listed below clearly. A very simplistic narration and lucid working principles ideas / concepts explained verbally or through certain static visuals can be a good starting point.

The presentation must speak about the following aspects:

The user it is addressed to, Issues / Ideas / Opportunities the design is addressing / What was the project’s design process? / What is the result of the design product.

3. Description of the project.

A 200 word description of the project where you explain your design textually.

4. A cover picture.

Size - 1920 x 1080 this will be used for thumb nailing and as a project coverfor your web presentation. So make sure this image is one of your best ones.

5. Process sketches – Clips – Decisions – Stages – Iterations

This is the most essential part of the project where you get to explain all between the lines ideas through abstract sketches, or logics devised for a particular interaction to work, or maybe as simple as information structuring. No part of the process is boring if it has lead to problems to be solved differently. These process level ideas not only gives our jury a clear picture about your efforts, has the ability to inspire other viewers as well (If you display your project publicly).

We are aware of the fact that explaining processes can be a challenge considering constraints and may consume significant attention span on the project page hence we would advise to make this part as concise as possible. Process is important, but challenge here is to filter and craft the information to make it relevant to the audience.

There are primarily 3 categories for judging for F:unKT awards:

• Students
• Professionals
• People’s choice.
