In 2017 and in 2019 , during the Biennale Internationale Design Saint-Étienne, two editions of the contest “a Streetcar design for design" students from allover France ( in 2017)and from the UNESCO Creative Cities of Design (in 2019) were organized. Given the success of these events, the contest of the 12th edition of the Biennale will beopen to all schools within the UNESCO Creative Cities Design Network.
“A streetcar named design”, a creativity contest
The goal? To imagine and design a full covering for one of the tramway of Saint-Étienne Métropole. The company STAS, an historical partner of the Biennale Internationale Design Saint-Étienne, took advantage of the 2021’s event to initiate this contest addressed to students in master’s degree in design schools and also publicize the winner’s work.
The winner obtains a check of 5 000€, an amount which allows him to make beautiful projects. The victory is not ephemeral… Indeed, every year, the winner will see his or her tramway circulating on the STAS’s network, and even afterthe end of the event; a creation that will mark spirits of several generations.
This competition is open to the students or groups of students enrolled in Master level programmes in Design at the higher schools of art and design n the UNESCO Creative Cities of Design Network in the 2020-2021 academic year.
