The application period for the young designer competition, unique youngstar 2016, ends in 10 days' time on 1 April 2016.

All entries on the competition theme 'Outdoor Living' will then be in the running for one of the 15 exhibition places at spoga+gafa, which is taking place in Cologne from 4 to 6 September. Because those designers, who are able to convince the jury with their ideas, have the chance to exhibit their prototypes at the leading international garden trade fair and thus present them to an international audience - including the opportunity to establish new business contacts. At the same time, the 15 nominees also have the chance of walking off with the title unique youngstar 2016 and prize-money totalling 7,000 Euros (first to third place as well as a public prize). So, take part now quickly and win: The application form can be found at www.gardenunique.de/en/youngstar. The entry deadline is 1 April 2016.

The up to 15 nominees will be in the best of company in Hall 10.2, because the top outdoor brands are represented in the product segment garden unique. The exhibition of the prototypes will be located in direct proximity to exhibitors such as Glatz, Houe or Nardi. The opportunity to establish new and international contacts here is thus extremely favourable - a chance that none of the young designers should miss out on. The winners will be announced and the award ceremony will take place during the unique hour at 2:00 p.m. on 4 September in Hall 10.2.
