The Netherlands Embassy in Washington, D.C. and the Consulate General in New York are holding a Dutch Design Competition in partnership with Kikkerland Design Inc., Shapeways and MAD.

Inspired by the exhibition, "Out of Hand: Materializing the Postdigital" at New York's Museum of Arts and Design (MAD), the Dutch government is looking for a new giveaway to distribute to their contacts in the United States, and is inviting designers to submit inventive, quirky and smart ideas for a functional and affordable small item inspired by Dutch Design (you do not have to be Dutch to enter).

"We want to find a new giveaway item that everyone will know is distinctively Dutch the moment they see it." said Dutch Ambassador Rudolf Bekink.

The ten top entries will be selected by a jury of design experts, 3D printed by Shapeways and go on display in NYC. The winning design will then have the possibility of being taken into manufacture by Kikkerland and the Dutch government will buy 500 pieces of the winning product, and use it as its official giveaway in the United States. On top of that, Shapeways will offer the winner a weeklong residency at its headquarters in New York, flight and accommodations included as part of the prize.

Designers can submit their ideas until March 7. The winning design will be announced in mid-April.
