Jumpthegap is an international design contest promoted by Roca with the collaboration of BCD Barcelona Design Centre that is looking for new, innovative and sustainable concepts for the bathroom space. Jumpthegap offers the opportunity to young designers or architects and design or architecture students to create and design innovative sustainable solutions for the bathroom and related products. More than 50% of the products that we will use in 10 years have not yet been manufactured, much less designed. This sixth edition of Roca International Design Contest is aimed at creative people who think towards the future whilst designing today. The contest has two categories: • Young designers or architects • Design or architecture students Entries may be individual or from a group of two professionals or two students. Mixed groups are not accepted. Each person or group may participate in one project only. There is no entry fee. Eligibility: The contest is open to applicants from every country born from 1 January 1980 onwards. Prize: Two winning projects will be chosen, and will receive a prize of Euro 4,000 each, one in the professional category and one in the student category, during the award ceremony in October 2015 at the Roca Madrid Gallery (Roca will cover travel and accommodation expenses for winning project authors). One Special Sustainability Prize: will be chosen among the 30 preselected and will receive Euro 1,000. This mention will be given by the Roca We Are Water Foundation, a Foundation created with the primary purpose to contribute to the awareness of a new culture of water, more caring, fair and sustainable, as well as help in all those areas of the planet disadvantaged by water problems.
