There is one month left to enter our Re:Create Design Challenge, which challenges readers to come up with ideas for reusing Samsung electronic devices or waste materials. Enter now before the contest closes on 19 July.

Launched last month, Dezeen and Samsung teamed up to launch a global design contest that tasks entrants with coming up with innovative ways to repurpose old devices or materials and transform them into new products or services.

Through the competition, Dezeen and Samsung seek new concepts that improve people's lives in meaningful ways and have a positive impact on the planet.

Contest challenges designers to repurpose old Samsung devices or materials

The contest, which is free to enter for anyone over the age of 18 in any country around the world, closes for entries on Wednesday 19 July 2023.

It has a top prize of £10,000 and total prize money of £18,000. Full details of how to enter the competition are included in the competition brief and rules.

The finalists will be determined by an expert judging panel comprising Dezeen editors and design professionals.

The judges will be looking for talented individuals to present original and innovative concepts that have a positive social and environmental impact, propose meaningful solutions to people's lives and resonate with the lifestyle of Samsung's consumers, fitting with its design philosophy.

How to enter

Entrants must submit a description of the product or service, explaining how it addresses each of the judging criteria, along with supporting imagery showcasing the design.

Contestants are free to propose ideas that repurpose entire devices or those that recycle specific components or materials.

Entrants have the option to produce a video or animation of the design, which should be uploaded to an external hosting platform such as YouTube or Vimeo and submitted via a URL.
