(July 6, 2016) ‘Made in Italy’, art, tradition and history are the themes that accompany Italian design. Beyond fantasy, creativity and originality. History of Italian design has achieved many milestones especially regarding domestic design objects which have also helped to characterised the history of our country, that have changed our way of life. They have upheld the value, style and innovation of Italian design abroad. The photography contest ‘A selfie with design’ was in fact envisioned as a tribute to Italian design in the world, for the occasion of the ‘16th Italian Language in the World Week”. The invitation to participate from the Italian Cultural Institute in Haifa reads: ‘Take a selfie with one of your household design objects and send it via email. You will be entered in a prize draw’. ‘The prize are 6 tickets for Italian film screenings at the next International Film Festival in Haifa (15-24 October)’. The contest awards creativity and beauty. The most beautiful, original, humouristic photographs will posted to the ICI’s Instagram page and the award ceremony will take place on October 10. There is time until September 30 to take a selfie.
