Roland DG South Africa has launched the Wrap2Max Déjà Vu design competition, which will run for 13 months, starting in August 2023. Enter now for a chance to win monthly cash prizes and your share of the R1 million total prize pool. This is South Africa’s biggest design competition in terms of prize money. Don’t miss the Wrap2Max ‘Let’s make magic’ party at Sign Africa and Modern Marketing Expo on 13 September 2023. Sign Africa and Modern Marketing are proud media partners of the Wrap2Max design competition.
Why is this Déjà Vu? The design briefs are similar to the original Wrap2Max competition 15 years ago, and nothing has changed in our country. What is the purpose of this design competition? Approach the problems of our times and start a conversation with your art. Get ready to unleash your creative superpowers and join Roland DG South Africa in their mission to create a profound impact on the world through groundbreaking designs. Roland wholeheartedly encourages every graphic designer who dares to question conventions and break free from traditional norms to blow us away with your art and make us stop and stare at your magic.
Designers can let their imaginations run wild as they embark on a journey with Roland to shape a brighter and more innovative future together. Entrants will need to choose one client brief, and using their artistic brilliance, transform these into something that is ground-breaking. Once the brief is chosen, entrants will need to submit a logo that screams ‘wow!’, a vehicle wrap that turns heads on the road, a T-shirt that inspires everyone who lays eyes on it, and an advertising poster that will make jaws drop.
Each month, three designers will win the following cash prizes: R10,000, R8000 and R5000. The best overall designer will be crowned the Designer of the year, and their designs will feature on the Roland Road Show vehicles in 2024. First place will win R210,000, second place will win R105,000 and third place will win R60,000. There is no limit to how many times you can enter. For full competition information, briefs and templates, entry fees and Wrap2Max ‘Let’s make magic’ party details, visit: www.2themax.co.za.
Students will be competing with all designers, and your college or school wins if you win. R6000, R4000 and R2000 goes to your institution if you win first, second or third prize respectively for the month you win. If the top students qualify for the grand overall prizes for first, second and third place, their institutions will get: R40,000, R30,000 and R20,000.
The Wrap2Max ‘You did it!’ party will be held in September 2024 at the Sign Africa Expo at Gallagher Convention Centre. All proceeds from the entries will be collected by the Hamba Phambi Trust and distributed to Roland DG’s chosen organisations, including: React19, Faustman Lab, Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance and Brownstone Institute for Social and Economic Research.
