SILMO’s Optical Design Contest 2022: Explore New Horizons

SILMO dedicates a new area of expression to design students with the Optical Design Contest 2022.

The objective is to catalyse trends by stimulating and revealing the seeds that will blossom in tomorrow’s optical world. Through its visionary approach, SILMO offers students the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and highlight their conception of the optical and eyewear sphere while exploring its countless possibilities.

A panel made up of design professionals and interdisciplinary experts will gather in September 2022 to select the big winner. For this first edition of the Optical Design Contest, Emmanuel Gallina will have the honour of presiding the jury.

Design, creativity, innovation, product usage and functionality, the integration of a CSR approach, the intrinsic viability of the project… All these dimensions will be critical criteria.

A prize deserving of the challenge will be awarded to the winner of the competition at the next SILMO Paris trade fair, which will take place from September 23 to 26 at Paris Nord Villepinte. The winner and his or her school will share a cheque of 10,000 euros and will have the honour of having their designs exhibited throughout the event.
