Ellesse design competition

The sports brand is celebrating its 50th anniversary with its Create Tennis Art design competition.

All you have to do to enter is create a piece of art or design inspired by the brand's Italian heritage and sporting roots in tennis. The deadline to enter the competition is May 10th. The categories range from fashion and textiles, right through to fine art, sculpture, street art, graphics and digital.

As well as claiming €4,500, the winner will also have their work displayed at the Ellesse 50th anniversary event this summer in Rome.

The iconic Italian sportswear brand has also produced two new collaborations, with textile print artist Kate Gibb (featured in HUCK#013) and Greek animator Babis Alexiadis.

  • That is actually outrageous. So you get a phone call from some Ellesse receptionist "Hey! Congratulaions you won". You then put the phone down and that's it he last you know, hear or have anything to do with your creation for ever and a day? Preposterous!!!

  • That's the case with most (every?) competitions, it's not specific to that one fyi!

  • I think this is the same on most design competitions.

    It's just a cheap way of companies getting creative work done + it gets lots of publicity.

    Basically, if you want to keep copyright control of your work, don't enter competitions like this.
