IED Creative Diary 2011

The Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) will be offering a total of 36 scholarships to students hoping to enter the university this year.

The schools' Design, Fashion, Visual Communication and Management departments will all offer places on selected courses. As part of this, the IED international network grant scholarship has launched the 'creative diary', a daily showcase that highlights the work of students who will all be competing to win one of the 36 international scholarships.

Calling on entrants to submit ideas and projects inspired by 'your creative energy', IED will be placing the submitted entries on the creativediary.net website where the entries will be judged, reviewed and commented on by peers, via Facebook newsfeeds. Focusing on the medium of energy, entrants can design what they believe will improve the world's use of energy, or the projects/objects can simply represent the designer's source of inspiration – the metaphorical energy that drives passion and creativity.

The IED will be offering courses at its schools in Milan, Rome, Turin, Cagliari, Venice, Madrid, Barcelona and São Paulo. The competition for scholarships is open to all international students between 18 and 28 years of age. The deadline for submissions is 10 May, 2011.

For more information on the competition, and what is required to successfully gain one of the scholarships, take a look at the IED website:
