Artisan of the Year 2016

Because every creator and product designer is first and foremost a contemporary craftsman or artisan, the Creative Workshop (Atelierul Magazine) invites you to apply for the Artisan of the Year Award, 6th edition. For six years now, Atelierul Magazine has been inviting all talented creators and designers to enter the annual Craftsman of the Year competition, where we will find out with the help of the jury and 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, whether wearable, practical or purely aesthetic, but whose aim is to delight and bring joy and design to your target audience, you are invited to register by 15 December 2016 to the Craftsman 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 essentially has 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 designer who has stood out through the products made, the concept and the brand developed. This prize has been awarded to: 2015 - Nicomade, 2014 - Zubiju, 2013 - Little Delight, 2012 - Itsy Bitsy Ami, 2011 - Bohemian Sin.

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