6th Materialica Design and Technology Award 2008
The application period for the 6th Materialica Design + Technology Award has begun.

The annual award, which has been held since 2003, seeks to outline the importance of materials for industrial design-oriented applications and to encourage a dialog between material manufacturers, designers and product manufacturers.

The award will be granted by MunichExpo Veranstaltungs GmbH, the organizers of Materialica, the international specialist trade fair for material applications, surfaces and product engineering.

The award ceremony will take place on the occasion of the 11th Materialica on October 14, 2008.

All awarded submissions will be presented at the Materialica Design Show in a separate exhibition architecture designed exclusively for this event.

In addition to the categories material, surface and product, MunichExpo will, for the first time, grant a special award for CO2 efficiency.

The award will be granted on the basis of amounts of carbon dioxide produced during manufacturing, service life and for the disposal of material, products and technologies.

Application deadline: June 30, 2008.
