Hugo Boss is asking for submissions from design fans, professionals, and students for concept ideas for its Hugo Create contest. Hugo Boss specializes in fragrance products for men and women.

The competition selects 10 winners from each contest round. One winner from the group will have their artwork published in the international urban magazine, i-D. All winners receive a $500 cash award. Other winning designs will be painted on New York building walls during the month of September.

The Hugo Create contest wants advertising poster designs that feature the HUGO Man bottle. The contest theme is “Summer Time.” Examples for this theme are favorite holiday moments, travel locations, or outdoor activities.
