Requirements?

As a web designer, you know the best what’s hot and what’s not. We want a design that’s modern, playful, bold, exciting, fresh and eye-pleasing. At the same time, it should be easy to navigate and make sense. We want an artwork with a great UX and a mobile version that will make people go WOW! Just let the artist in you go wild and show off!

The design should reflect the following:

• there should be a place allocated for partners’ logos – visible in the main viewport of the front page and on a prominent place on the subpages
• there should be a place allocated for twitter feed aggregator on the main page
• the main page should provide room for a nice wide-angle interchangeable banner
• we will need place for “flags” for language switching as well as links to social media and RSS

Website should contain following:

• dedicated blog section
• news section on the front page
• general information about the event and its subparts and events
• information about the application process for startups & possibility to submit the application
• information about applicating startups, the partners and the jury
• a contact page

The way you will manage to put this together is up to your imagination.

Submission package

For consideration of your submission, a simple flat export of the design (jpg/png) – one for desktop version and one for the mobile version – will suffice. In case your design is selected, we will need the layered psd file or a suitable alternative.

What are the deadlines?

We would like to have the website up and running by the mid-April. Therefore, we have set 31.3.2012 as the deadline for submissions. The winning design will be announced no later than 4.4.2011.
