Now in its 11-year anniversary, CarpetVista Design Competition is welcoming entries on the theme Sustainable wishing to highlight the natural material wool.

The aim of the competition is for you to design a carpet, and

round, square, rectangular etc.

) may vary depending on the design.

The design should suit a carpet that measures up to

).

The carpet will be hand-tufted or hand-woven using the highest quality materials. Depending on the motifs the materials are selected, it will be either entirely of wool or with a warp of cotton and a pile of wool. Elements of silk in the pile may also occur.
