App to the Future

Presented by Core77 & Windows Phone

For the second year, Windows Phone sponsored a juried competition wherein designers were asked to create, connect or impress the pants off their future self. Challenged to take control of the future, applicants were asked to design apps that would empower themselves at their work, enable better connections with family and friends or were simply a joy to use.

The entry-round of the competition closed February 10, 2013. Once the Jury determines the 50 finalists, FIVE winning app design--chosen from the finalists--will receive a Microsoft Surface, Windows Phone device, design review call with a Windows Phone team member and an opportunity to be featured in an "Amp Up Your App" segment on Microsoft Channel 9. All 50 finalists will receive a one-year subscription to the Windows Phone Dev Center, and those who launch their apps in the Windows Phone Store can also win a Windows Phone device.

The challenge was created and run by the Core77 team to help Windows Phone achieve their goal of generating interest among the design community. Core77 built the website, advertised and promoted the competition, collected the winners, managed the judging process, announced the winners and monitored the delivery of all prizes. This year Core77 tripled the participation of both registrants and entries.

Braun

A Sponsored Archive of Historic Braun Design

For the past several years, Core77 has been instrumental in covering and promoting BraunPrize, a popular international product design competition aimed at promoting the work of young designers, highlighting the importance of industrial design and increasing the profile of innovative product ideas globally. To celebrate BraunPrize 2012, Core77 and Braun teamed up to host the Design in the Wild global photo competition where participants were invited to identify extraordinary design in their everyday lives.

As a follow up to the BraunPrize 2012 program, Braun has sought Core77's help again to keep up the momentum. By developing a permanent archive of Braun's work and philosophy, Core77 will leverage their global audience of designers to transition their media presence from BraunPrize 2012 to a larger Braun design story.

International Home + Housewares Show

Live Coverage Sponsored by the International Housewares Association

The International Home and Housewares Show (IHHS) is an annual, multi-day event held by the International Housewares Association (IHA) to feature the newest product innovations and trends for all areas of the home. Exhibitors, industry leaders, buyers, and professionals from all over the globe attend this world-class trade show to see what's new and discuss the future of the industry. Core77 has attended and covered the International Home and Housewares Show on its web site in previous years, successfully raising awareness about the event and providing live coverage and archival footage.

In 2012, IHHS added another day and the IHA sought expanded coverage with increased photos and sketchnotes, and a smaller series of videos to focus on getting a wider number of vendors, designers and presentations in the mix of event blogging coverage produced by Core77.

This year the IHHS conference made for another successful collaboration with the IHA as Core77 was on site and provided live coverage of the event. Core77's IHHS archive now contains over 55 entries, and continues to grow as we publish more content from this year's show.
