UNESCO City of Design Dundee are looking for three designers to create eye-catching, sustainable Christmas Trees for the festive season.


Returning for the fifth year, UNESCO City of Design Dundee, in partnership with Dundee City Council, are searching for three designers or creative practitioners to create bespoke and unique ‘Christmas Trees’ as part of Dundee’s Festive Celebrations!

These trees will be displayed alongside previous year’s ‘Christmas Tree’ designs and will be a highlight of Dundee’s Festive Celebrations. The project is seeking creative, unique, and eye-catching 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 each ‘tree’ and its decoration must be made from 100% reused or recycled materials and utilise multiples of an object or material.


This opportunity is open to:

Three successful designers (or group of designers and creative practitioners) will be awarded £2,200 to cover all materials, production, installation and fees.

Deadline for submissions: 12noon, Mon 28 September
