The Grand Prize
Our lucky winner will receive €500 in cash, as well as their Zipster design in our next collection!
We'll feature your name on the labels and you'll of course receive a Zipster in a size of your choice!
Last year's winner was....
Sicilian Summer
This design is bursting with sunshine, colour, and the spirit of the Mediterranean. Inspired by Giulia’s Sicilian roots and the joyful chaos of summer with her son, it’s a celebration of lemons, tiles, and tradition, reimagined through a child’s eyes.
With over 200 entries and 6 designs shortlisted, we had a lot of fun.
2024's winner was....
Comic Cuddles!
With its playful and vibrant theme, Kristen Nicola's Comic Cuddles was the winner of our Design Challenge 2024!
