In this 6th edition, the DESITA AWARD 2020 is looking for new solutions to bring innovation and added value to the gelato and pizza sectors, focusing its attention on the experience of both customers and industry operators, extending its scope of research to several product typologies and services.
Guidelines
For the correct realisation of your proposals, keep into consideration the following guidelines:
Context: gelato and pizza are two remarkable examples of the Italian know-how and tradition in the food-sector. New scenarios and emerging global challenges represent great opportunities for this business to grow and consolidate. DESITA AWARD 2020 comes in with the mission of encouraging idea generation and innovation around the experience related to these sectors, addressing creatives from various disciplines and cultures.
DESITA AWARD 2020 categories: you can take part in the DESITA AWARD 2020 by choosing between two main categories, GELATO EXPERIENCE and PIZZA EXPERIENCE, each consisting of a separate award. You can decide to participate with one or more projects, for either category.
Project typologies: for each main category ( GELATO EXPERIENCE or PIZZA EXPERIENCE ), you can present your project in one the following project typologies:
1 ) Tools and Packaging: design or redesign tools, objects, accessories, packaging, food consumption etc. in order to improve the functionality, the food preparing and/or the fruition experience from the service and/or customer standpoint.
2 ) Interaction: design or redesign electronic devices/applications, digital devices, etc. that could improve the food preparation and/or fruition experience from the service and/or customer standpoint.
3 ) Delivery service: design or redesign effective solutions for food transport, preservation and delivery that could improve the experience from the service and/or customer standpoint.
Key aspects to tackle: your projects shall focus on the experience for either the customer or the industry operator, with regards to gelato or pizza, paying great attention to each process involved ( fruition, preparation, etc. ) and to aspects of sustainability.
Technologies: you are free to suggest the use of various technologies or new applications of existing technologies to improve one of these sectors, keeping into consideration the overall feasibility of your solution, in terms of production costs and market potential.
Customer typology and context: your projects may be designed for either the customers or the industry operators, at your discretion, keeping into consideration that the preparation and/or fruition of gelato and pizza might happen anywhere and anytime, be it inside an ice-cream parlour, a pizza restaurant, at home or in any other context, including street food stalls, etc.
Values to convey: the projects you present shall be able to provide and suggest innovative approaches and sustainable solutions, which are prerequisites in the evaluation of all projects.
Deliverables: the title of each project shall specify which main category it is meant for, GELATO EXPERIENCE or PIZZA EXPERIENCE, for ex. “GELATO EXPERIENCE – Project title”. Participants are required to:
– submit one or more images of the project ( including sketches, 3D renderings, illustrations, etc. ),
– a detailed description of the project ( max 2,000 characters, spaces included ) and

Please use the abstract and description fields of the upload form to include your textual presentation. Higher resolution images ( 150ppi ), PDF files, technical drawings and other materials can be attached inside a .ZIP archive ( MAX 100 MB ) from the upload page.
