Competition overview

TerraViva invites architects, designers, artists and creatives from all around the world to contribute with their ideas to Termoli's rebranding efforts.

Located in southern Italy, the city of Termoli stands at a unique crossroads of history, culture and modernity. This coastal town on the Adriatic Sea is currently undergoing a crucial transformation.

As it redefines its urban identity on both national and international stages, the power of art and culture are embraced as essential tools for this evolution.

The winning project will be awarded the prestigious "Premio Termoli" and adopted by the Municipality as its new visual identity.

Additionally, the three winners and ten honourable mentions will be showcased at the MACTE Museum of Contemporary Art as part of a dedicated exhibition, further celebrating the innovative contributions of this initiative.

Eligibility and judging criteria

The competition is open to students and professionals over the age of 18.

The jury will evaluate all the proposals according to the following principles:

  • Originality of the concept
  • Alignment with Termoli's identity
  • Impact and memorability of the proposal
  • Applicability across urban settings
  • Visual and strategic cohesion
  • Graphic representation
  • Proposals emphasising creative sensitivity and a deep understanding of Termoli's urban richness will be particularly appreciated by the jury panel

How to enter

Participants are to submit one A4 horizontal PDF presentation (maximum 20 pages) and an A1 panel detailing their projects in English or Italian. Neither should contain any reference to the identity of the participants.

The PDF presentation should contain all the necessary information to best explain the project, including concept explanation, logo design and its variations, font choice, colour palette and mockups.

The panel should be designed as a sort of summary of the most relevant content shown in the presentation. In the event that the project is selected for the exhibition that will be organised at MACTE, the panel will be the element which will be exhibited to the public.
