Rado Watch Design Call for Entries

Rado and SCAD announce a collaborative exhibition of works inspired by the Ceramica line of watches, to be showcased at the first annual Women in Design event hosted by Elle Décor Nov. 17 at the Pratt House. All female SCAD alumni and student artists from any department are welcome to submit work.

A panel of five leading designers as well as representatives from Rado and Elle Décor will judge the submissions; the winner will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to New York from Elle Décor and a Rado watch. The winner’s work will be featured in Elle Décor magazine (and perhaps online) as well as the Rado newsletter, which reaches 10,000 retailers worldwide. The work will also be viewed by 200 members of New York’s elite design community.

Submissions may be 2D or 3D representations of works in any medium and may include renderings. Designs may be, but do not have to be, related to time but must reflect the look, form, craft or technology of the Ceramica designs. Designs must be submitted in Photoshop or Illustrator files or as PDFs or JPEGs, although they may be created originally in any program. Artists may submit up to five designs. Send files to artprint@scad.edu. Submissions must be received by Oct. 16.

Files must be embedded with the following information within the File Info field: status at SCAD, full name, major/year of graduation, hometown, title of image, phone number and e-mail address. The following naming structure must be used: RADOSCAD08/Last name/first initial/brief title/year shot. Artists may showcase their designs in their portfolios or in appropriate exhibitions following the event, but may not use their designs commercially, as the inspiration begins with Rado product/intellectual property.
