In collaboration with Paper Magazine, Google has just launched a design contest to allow you to have your design as a watch face in company's Android Wear Collection for the fall. In order to remove all the obstacles and complications associated with designing on computers from the work of art, the company has said that it will accept photos, painted canvas, or even a sketch on a napkin as entries.
If you feel your artwork is worthy to be the face of the Android Wear, Google is ready to consider your entry. To send in your entry, all you need to do is post your artwork on Instagram before September 15 with the hashtags #AndroidWear and #WearWhatYouWant. In the article, Paper Magazine distinctly clarifies that accepting entries for the competition on Instagram no way hints at any affiliation or involvement of Instagram in the project.
“To celebrate the upcoming fashion weeks, PAPER and Android Wear are sponsoring a social media competition – launching a global search for unique watch face designs. Whether you’re a design student or just a fashion lover, this is your chance to free your inner designer. No need to be a computer whiz: snap a picture, sketch on a napkin, play with fabric, paint on canvas… If it inspires you, we want to see it!” wrote Paper Magazine in an article regarding its collaboration with Google for the competition.
The five winning designs of the contest, declares Paper Magazine, will be turned into fully functional Android Wear watch faces, and they will be made available for download for Android and iOS users.
The winner of this competition will get an Android Wear watch, a trip to Paris Fashion Week, and a mentorship with one of the aforementioned panellists.
The panelists include fashion designer Cynthia Rowley, industry maven Jenné Lombardo, Queen Bey’s stylist, Ty Hunter, Android Wear designer Morten Just, and PAPER‘s Editorial Director, Mickey Boardman.
