In the context of the international design conference “Hit by Inspiration,” which will take place on 7th March 2009 in Munich, the design studio TOCA ME and the stock photo agency Getty Images launched an international design contest under the same topic as the conference. Until 31st January 2009 artworks created of images or videos from Getty Images as their basis can be submitted on the website designcontest.toca-me.com. Participation is free and open to everyone – no matter if you are a designer or just interested in design.

In the run-up to the conference an international jury will determine the winning entries of both the categories image and video – both will be awarded with a brand new Apple Mac Book. The jury consists, amongst others, of Joshua Davis, one of the leading web designers in the world and Strukt, a collective of young designers from Vienna specialized on the creation of unique visual styles.

Deadline for this competition is 31 January 2009. Visit the site to learn more.
