Anything with an original idea at its core is a Re-think. To put it simply – a piece of work that challenges the norm. Something that pushes the boundaries, creating an alternate way of thinking.
What work can I enter?
There are an infinite number of possibilities. Your entry could be a standout design project, groundbreaking research, a pioneering artistic expression, a unique mathematical observation…the list goes on.
What format do I need to submit?
Submissions can be in any format – from a photo essay, written report or animation, to renders, audio files, interviews, essays or documentaries.
