BAD Award 2022: first selection announced!

Over the last weeks, we received a great amount of applications for the BAD Award Open Call 2022. We were excited to read so many high-quality, innovative, and creative ideas!


Location

Eindhoven

Date

24 March 2022


In the previous days, a selection of 16 applicants was made by representatives of the BAD Award partner organizations (BioArt Laboratories, Dutch Design Foundation, MU Hybrid Art House, Next Nature, St. Joost School of Art & Design).

Individually, all members of the selection committee graded the proposals on three aspects: quality of the artist/designer’s portfolio and CV, quality of the idea (originality and feasibility), and the likelihood of finding a match with one of the research groups.

With these results as the backbone for further in-depth conversation on all applications, they chose 16 proposals.
