Tasmania Makes: expressions of interest requested

Design Tasmania has announced a new annual opportunity for Tasmanian designer makers to expand their practice, gain recognition and forge new industry connections.

Tasmania Makes seeks to ‘amplify creative risk-taking, strengthen networks, and propel designer-maker practice to new heights’. Makers from diverse backgrounds, career levels, and design disciplines are invited to submit ideas for ‘a new product, provocation or prototype that extends your practice conceptually or materially, strengthens cultural practice, or addresses emerging markets or contemporary issues’.

Selected outcomes for 2023 will be showcased at Design Tasmania for three months, from December 23 to February 24, with potential inclusion in Design Tasmania's presentation at the Melbourne Design Fair 2024.

You don’t have long to apply however, EOIs close July 11, 2023 – information is at this link.
