The UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) serves as a platform for collaboration among its over 300 member cities that are committed to prioritize creativity as a strategic element in their development plans. Cities within the network actively integrate creativity and cultural industries into their local development strategies while promoting international cooperation and capacity exchange. The network encompasses seven creative fields: Crafts and Folk Arts, Design, Film, Gastronomy, Literature, Media Arts, and Music. Given that every member city registers into the UCCN in association with these creative fields, Doha has joined as, and presently is, a Design City with a possibility to extend to other creative fields in the future.
Participating designers will be provided with a design brief by Design Doha.
The competition is open to designers, students and members of the public who are 18 years of age and older and citizens or residents of Qatar. Participants agree to the stated terms and conditions and the IP laws and guidelines outlined.
