The Cultural Center Azimut from Šibenik has announced a competition for designing prints for its reusable cups. The goal of the competition is to find a visual identity that reflects the center’s urban character, the city’s cultural and musical dynamism, and promotes sustainability—becoming an everyday part of the visitor experience.
Designers, illustrators, art academy students, and all creatives are invited to interpret the unique spirit of Azimut through their work. The aim is to create visuals that imaginatively connect key elements: Šibenik’s cultural activities and creativity, its music scene and event rhythm, as well as the zero-waste philosophy and the center’s urban identity.
The design can be abstract, typographic, or illustrative, and the style may be minimalist or graphically expressive. The key requirement is that it remains legible and visually effective on the small, cylindrical surface of a cup.
All selected works become the property of the Cultural Center Azimut for the purposes of production and use on reusable cups for promotional activities.
We invite all interested participants to contribute to the visual identity of this unique cultural hub in Šibenik with their creative solutions.
The competition is supported by the Public Institution Krka National Park and Zagrebačka pivovara.
