Artisan of the Year 2016

Because every creator and product designer is first and foremost a contemporary craftsman or artisan, Atelierul de Creație (Atelierul Magazine) invites you to enter for the 6th edition of the Artisan of the Year award. For the last six years, Atelierul Magazine has been inviting all talented creators and designers to enter the annual Artisan of the Year competition, where we will find out, with the help of the jury and the public vote, who are the most appreciated designers and creators of 2016.

If this year you have translated original concepts and ideas into design objects, be they wearable, practical or purely aesthetic, but whose aim is to delight and bring joy and design to your target audience, you are invited to apply by 15 December 2016 to the Artisan of the Year competition by filling in the form here: www.revista-atelierul.ro/2016/12/02/apel-inscrieri-artizanul-anului-2016.
Product design has broken the barrier of contemporary art and has acquired the status of an art object, and its creator has essentially the status of a contemporary craftsman / artisan. The Craftsman of the Year Award was conceived in 2011, at the initiative of the Creative Workshop, with the aim of awarding this title to a contemporary creator who has distinguished himself/herself through the products realized, the concept and the brand developed. This prize has been awarded: 2015 - Nicomade, 2014 - Zubiju, 2013 - Deliciu Mic, 2012 - Itsy Bitsy Ami, 2011 - Bohemian Sin.

The winner of the competition will receive from Atelierul de Creație Magazine, in addition to the title Craftsman of the Year 2016, a promotional package whose content you can find out directly from the website www.revista-atelierul.ro.
