Distributed Design Platform
Open Call: GEN:TÆNK Residency

This is the open call application form for Creative Talents to apply for Maker’s residency programme, GEN:TÆNK.

DEADLINE: 12/04/2024

Over the course of 3 months from 1st of June to 31st of August we invite you to work on a project during your residency.

The project can both be newly founded or can be something, you’ve worked on in the past, that you want to realize. However, it needs to be physical and it needs to be reaching for making positive impact on the plastic conflict.

Through this residency, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate and connect with national and international creative talents, learn from experts in the field and explore new ways of approaching design and production of plastic products.

Come join us and help build a better future!

  • Residency: Benefit from 3 months access to our fully equipped workshop, V-10 in Copenhagen, to bring your idea to life. Worth 7,800 DKK. Duration of residency is June through August. Read more here: https://maker-effekt.dk/faciliteter-i-v-10/
