What you need to prepare We are open to ideas. Just make sure you present 3 or more proposals. These proposals should contain an explanation of approximately 10 sentences in english explaining your angle together with:

- an artistic sketch and - a technical sketch This technical sketch should include all necessary information for any sampling requests: For example, fastening size, length, colour, (if there is a choice) function, (if there is a choice). The techincal sketch should also include how you intend to attach any YKK products in your designs.

We recommend you check out ITS#SEVEN Special YKK Award winner Tomasz Donocik design. Tomasz took a YKK slider, modified it, then developed it according to his liking. YKK thought he did VERY well indeed! You can find more about Tomasz's design in the Past Winners section of ITS.

Remember, if you are chosen you will need to prepare a prototype!
