Download submission form.
Remember that box of old sample products from work? What about that old coveted "icon of design" that you just don't love like you used to? Or what about that goofy shirt your mom gave you for Chistmas? Here's your chance to clear out the closet full of stuff that you just don't want any more, and at the same time contribute to a good cause! The IDSA Designer's Junk Auction benefits The Design Foundation's Industrial Designer Undergraduate Scholarship fund.
It works like this:
Everyone is encouraged to submit items to the auction. You don't have to be an IDSA member - or even a designer - to take part. Email the submission form and, if possible, a .jpg of your item to info-at-idsachicago.org.
You can bring items the night of the auction, too, just make sure you have it there by 6:30 pm to be included.
Not everything submitted will be auctioned off. As people arrive to the auction, they will be handed sticky notes for which to vote for their favorite things. Only the items that receive the most votes will be auctioned off. All other items will be returned to the seller or donated to a charity.
The seller can designate a starting bid for any or all of his or her items.
A minimum of 10% of the final sale must be given to the Design Foundation's Undergraduate Scholarship Fund.
All purchases will be cash.
You do not have to be selling something to attend the auction.
