SKILLBLASTR design competition platform (an Italian-language platform with a technical jury; Instagram: @skillblastr).
An online competition with works submitted via the SKILLBLASTR platform; it is an Italian platform and eligibility is not restricted by nationality or region beyond the contest's target audience.
No fixed time-based deadline; a limited-place "sold-out" system applies — the contest closes at 100 entries, allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Everyday object / industrial product concept design (toilet paper roll).
Entrants design an "infinite" toilet paper roll that permanently transcends the concepts of consumption, depletion and replacement, proposing a radical solution for this everyday object.
Current design students, alumni, and professionals in the design field.
Paid: €3 per concept.
Submission format: exactly one JPG image, maximum 1 MB; no long reports or explanations; files named solely with the blastr number plus the entrant's phone number in international format, e.g. 002_0039xxxxxxxxxx. Entering and paying implies tacit acceptance of the platform's Terms and Conditions.
- The winner receives a guaranteed €100 (in exchange for a promotional license of the image) plus strong visibility on the platform and official social channels;
- The winner must submit construction/implementation details in PDF and personal data within 7 days;
- Every participant receives a score report with detailed scores for all submitted projects;
- Non-winners may join the parallel community event "FANBLASTR": post the work on personal Instagram and tag @skillblastr; the entry with the most likes earns a place in the dedicated FANBLASTR showcase (community-driven; it does not replace the technical jury's judgment).
BLASTR N.002 is an everyday-object redesign challenge from the SKILLBLASTR micro design competition platform, whose motto is "one rule: one shot, maximum impact." Design exists to solve real problems — even the most invisible ones in daily life — and a toilet paper roll that runs out at the worst possible moment is an industrial design problem awaiting a radical solution. Entrants are asked to redefine this most ordinary of objects by designing an "infinite" toilet paper roll that permanently transcends consumption, depletion and replacement.
