UNESCO City of Design Dundee are looking for four designers to create a sustainable outdoor Christmas Tree this festive season.

---

December is creeping closer and UNESCO City of Design Dundee, in partnership with Dundee City Council, are once again searching for four designers or creative practitioners to create bespoke and unique ‘Christmas Trees’ as part of Dundee’s Festive Celebrations!

These trees will form part of a display located outside City Churches and rather than simply decorating a tree, the brief asks designers to create a tree which tells its own story. The project is seeking creative, unique designs which respond to the concept of a central Christmas Tree in festive celebrations while celebrating the diversity of the winter period from different perspectives.

Considering the environmental impact of large-scale festivities, all elements of the tree and its decoration must be made from 100% reused or recycled materials. It is preferable that the tree’s materials are made from materials that are recognisable as having been recycled, and they particularly welcome ‘trees’ made from waste household and everyday items.

This opportunity is open to:

• Designers and makers who live or work in Dundee.
• Professional designers and recent graduates (graduating in the last 4 years) originally from Dundee.

Deadline for submissions: 11.59pm, Thursday 24 October

Each designer or creative practitioner will be awarded £2,000 to cover all materials, production, installation and fees.
