We have an exciting competition for all of you origami gurus! If you are passionate about origami, if you like designing new things and have the technical know-how, you are more than welcome to participate and earn £250!
The Challenge:
Design an expandable/contractable box, any size you want. Keep in mind that we are going to use very heavy-duty cardboard when we assemble it ourselves, so you should take this into consideration. The box should have the following features:
- Expandable and contractable in both width and height.
- No more than 6 separate parts/pieces (the less, the better)
- Durable in both modes
- Easy to expand and contract
- Easy to assemble
- Simple and elegant design
- Flat bottom
- You are NOT allowed to use glue.
- You are allowed to use nuts and bolts.
Submission requirements:
Please send your designs as a PDF file to gdragiev1@gmail.com
The PDF file should include:
- Detailed drawing of the design (each piece should be drawn separately and sizes should be given)
- At least 4 pictures of the ready product (expanded and contracted)
- Detailed description of how to assemble the box
- Detailed description of how the box expands and contracts
Each participant is allowed to submit no more than 5 different designs. The more designs you submit, the greater your chance to win!
The deadline of your submissions is 12/09/2016
After this date we will review all the designs and we will announce the winner on Sunday 18/09/2016 by 19:00pm. The winner will be announced here on the forum and he/she will be contacted by email. We are going to use the same e-mail address you used to submit your designs.
The payment will be either by cheque or by paypal, whichever is more convenient for you.
