For the past twenty years furniture importer and distributor M2L has been dedicated to finding and sourcing truly iconic pieces that define the classic modern aesthetic. In addition to promoting and protecting design authenticity through its sister site, GenuineDesign.com, M2L will also give away $8,500 in scholarships through the second annual Genuine Design Competition, which is based around the concept of a Public Service Announcement. Students are asked to create a video, up to four minutes long, on the topic of genuine design and why furniture designers deserve the right to protect their work against knockoffs. Entrants must currently be enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student at an accredited university in the U.S. and pursuing a degree in a design-related field. The deadline for submission is March 15, 2010. Go here to find additional background information and the digital entry form.
