Promoting the culture of resistance and standing up to injustice, oppression, and authoritarianism has always been a core mission of great figures throughout history. Many nations and peoples have suffered under exploitative powers and tyrants, but through perseverance and resilience, they have ultimately broken free from the chains of oppression and injustice.
Today, we witness a growing global awareness and sensitivity toward the injustices inflicted upon innocent people around the world. However, awareness alone is not enough. The true responsibility that lies upon societies is to actively resist oppression until all manifestations and embodiments of injustice are eradicated across the globe.
For this reason, we are calling upon educators, designers, and cultural activists to submit their products that have been designed with these values in mind, so together, we may create a transformative cultural movement.
The Lifestyle category includes any product that introduces children and adolescents to the culture of resistance in non-textual, engaging, and educational ways, such as apparel, stationery, and decorative items.
But not just any product qualifies. We are looking for your most distinctive creations—products that reflect a profound and thoughtful perspective on the concept of resistance among nations.
To evaluate these unique products, we will focus on four essential criteria:
Content Relevance
How closely is your product related to the theme of resistance?
Is it crafted in a simple and accessible manner suitable for children and adolescents?
A well-aligned and appropriately developed product will successfully pass this stage. However, remember that the depth and quality of your content may impact your evaluation in the later stages, so we encourage extra attention to the accuracy and clarity of your message.
Visual Design
This is the first aspect that captures the attention of your audience.
We expect your product’s visual elements—including color composition—to be appropriate for the emotional and cognitive world of young people. This does not simply mean using cartoonish characters; rather, the more original and innovative the design, the more lasting its impression will be.
Packaging will also be evaluated in this section, as it is the first point of interaction between the product and the viewer, whether it’s children, adolescents, or a Hanzala prize judge.
Design Structure and Innovation
Here, we encourage your most creative and unconventional ideas.
Could a sleeve of a garment reveal something never seen before?
Could the product’s inner lining share its historical background?
Let your imagination lead—the more inventive, the better.
Educational Impact
Ask yourself:
What impact will this product, created by my hands, have on the minds of children and adolescents?
Could it influence their worldview or shift their lifestyle?
Might a teenager feel inspired each time they see this pen, this bag, or this shirt?
If your answer to any of these is “yes,” then this festival is ready to receive your contribution.
