The challenge asks anyone who wants to join in on it, to create a design for a wallpaper based on an archetypal design format called the 'Turnaround'. We chose that format because Pugin loved it, so it fits with the whole Pugin theme that the Student Competition was built around this year.
But it's such a traditional design format that everyone still uses now. For example these ones are available from Fired Earth at the moment . . .

And you see the format used time & time again in all sorts of ways & in all sorts of cultures. This is an African Wax Print.
The ones we've shown above are very 'geometric', the diagonals are 'straight-ish, but a turn-around doesn't have to be.
The guidelines for how to participate are on our website . . . go to the Competition page on the general Camac website (http://camacdesign.com/index.html) & go to the blue button on the Competition page, or go directly to the Virtual Wallpaper Challenge via this link . . .
