The fourth edition of the Stinky Design Contest is making a comeback! This year’s contest promises to be more exciting than ever as we collaborate with the SHAPESHIFT Festival to explore the unknown and harness it as a creative force for developing an exceptional Stinky Socks design.
We’re challenging creative minds worldwide to join us in shaping the future of socks in both online and offline realms. Whether you prefer offline sock design or digital creations, all formats are welcome. If you opt for an offline design, you can download our template here. For those choosing digital socks, feel free to utilize every possible tool at your disposal- AR, NFT you name it.
For the 2023 contest, we will have five winners, each receiving a unique recognition:
Grand Prix – This prestigious award will honor the outstanding design created using our following line. The winner will be selected by a jury comprised of our friends at NEXT-DC agency and the SHAPESHIFT Festival.
The SHAPESHIFT Favorite – The Shapeshift Festival will acknowledge the three most innovative designs with full access accreditation, granting them access to keynotes, films, and events throughout the festival.
The Stinky Family’s Favorite – This special award will be chosen by the #stinkyfamily worldwide. The selected design will become the family favorite and the winner will receive a year’s supply of Stinky Socks.
SHAPESHIFT is a series of events that delve into the intricate relationship between humanity and innovation. It encompasses art, science, politics, curiosity, and innovation, all of which shape and reshape our world.
