Open Call 2027

Zlin Design Week is launching an Open Call for anyone who wants to help bring the festival to life. We want to create space for new connections and ideas that are too good to sit in a drawer.

Apply through our form and get involved in exhibitions, fashion performances and discussions, or share your knowledge and experience through workshops. Whether you work in a creative field and enjoy coming up with new ideas, or create your own design pieces you would like to sell at the Design Market, we welcome new connections and are happy to give your work space at the festival.
