different categories:
01. Bathroom / Wellness
02. Survival + Emergency / Eco Solutions

Trend Roots
Furthermore there are five fields of change, the trend roots. They indicate a change
in society that the entry is most likely to achieve. When registering, every entry has
to be assigned to one category and to one trend root. The jury reserves the right to
assign the entry to a different category or trend root.

it may be a reaction to the fact that we can increasingly observe a shift towards
female principles in society.
Cultural Change
Your concept and idea is based on major cultural changes such as the growing
desire for individuality and self-management or on the explosively growing desire
to be part of a community on the other hand.
Economic Change
Your concept and idea is based on economic changes such as the importance of
creating more transparency in the financial sector or on the need for a better
distribution of wealth.
Ecological Change
Your concept and idea is based on
ecological changes such as the growing
urbanization we are facing on a global
scale or on the corresponding desire
to live in a more natural way in an
increasingly artificial world.
Technological Change
Your concept and idea is based on
technological changes such as the
rapidly growing demand for more
mobility or on the fact that we try to
simplify the complexity that surrounds
us.
