Theme
Titled, The Freedom to Dream, IGI writes:
Dreams are stories and images that our mind creates. They can be entertaining, fun, romantic, disturbing, frightening, and sometimes bizarre. Dreams are also a representation of our aspirations, motivations, goals, desires, and hopes. Dreams give us the freedom to imagine beyond. We want you to interpret the word "Dreams" as you wish and convert it into an element of your design. You need to describe your concept and its interpretation in your design as part of your entry.Competition Categories
