Now accepting applications for Ung Svensk Form 2022!

Applications open today, 18th May, for Ung Svensk Form 2022 and we look forward to accepting creative entries from the entire field of design. This year’s competition features more scholarships than ever before in the award’s 23-year history!

In times like these, we’ve seen creative juices flowing from every direction. Schools, industries, the entire cultural world – most everyone have had to adapt and make changes in order to keep going since the pandemic hit last year. Have you as a designer or creative had to adapt? If so, it is your creativity that Ung Svensk Form 2022 would like to show the world!

The award offers a fantastic opportunity to reach out with your work to the industry, the media and the public. As an applicant, you will also have the chance to apply for more scholarships than ever before, from our partners including IKEA, Arvet,  Kvadrat, Lammhults Möbel, Massive Entertainment and the Stiftelsen för Garverinäringens Främjande. And this year’s big announcement – a study and inspirational trip sponsored by industry organisation Swedish Wood.

All areas within design are welcome to apply: examples are graphic design, product design, architecture, furniture, crafts, glass, ceramics, textiles, fashion, game design and industrial design.
