LE GRAND PRIX DU CARRÉ HERMÈS
International scarf design competition
8th March 2019 – 1st March 2020
Information on how to enter and prizes form part of the OFFICIAL RULES. Please read them carefully before entering.
For the first time ever, Hermès is organising an international scarf design competition, open to all those possessing artistic talents expressed through manual skill: designers, artists, illustrators, graphic designers…Hermès will purchase the originals of the competition winners’ designs with a view to reproduction in one of its future collections.
Since 1937, Hermès has reproduced over 2,000 original designs on silk for its scarf collections. Designers from all backgrounds have distinguished themselves in this exercise in composition and narrative. Time after time, young graphic artists or experienced designers from around the world have devoted their talent to ever-contemporary creativity.
Above all a space for freedom, the scarf is nourished by paradoxes, as Pierre-Alexis Dumas, Hermès artistic director, explains: Enigmatic yet clear, simple yet luxuriant, meaningful yet mysterious right down to the tiniest detail; enclosed within a limited space yet free, open to infinite interpretations.
Please read full description of regulations and benefits in the OFFICIAL RULES.
The competition will take place in three phases:
Phase 1
8th March – 31st May 2019: Registration

This includes transfers to countries outside the European Union (“EU”) and to countries that do not have laws that provide adequate protection for personal data according to the European Commission.
To ensure lawful transfers of data, the Hermès group has implemented Binding Corporate Rules (“BCRs”) designed to allow Hermès group companies to transfer personal data from the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to other Hermès group companies located outside of the EEA in compliance with the European data protection law. These BCRs have been approved by the European data protection authorities. For more information on Hermès group’s BCRs, please visit https://www.hermes.com/fr/fr/bcr-eu/.
For countries where BCRs are not fully recognized as adequate mechanism, transfers are made on the basis of appropriate contractual clauses approved by the data protection authorities. To obtain a copy of the relevant adequate safeguards, you can send us your request (see below “How to contact us?”).
Please visit http://finance.hermes.com for more details about companies of Hermès group.
– We may also disclose personal data to third-party providers acting on behalf of Hermès and approved by Hermès. All such processing is based on our prior instructions set out in a binding contract that is compliant with the requirements of applicable law. Such disclosures are made for different purposes including:
— IT development and support;
— Launching and promoting the Contest on an online platform;
— Data quality management services (standardization, deduplication,…)
These providers are committed to confidentiality and are not permitted to use your personal data for any other purposes. We also require them to use appropriate security measures to protect your personal data.
– We may be required by the binding requirements of an applicable law, or for the purposes of responding to legal proceedings or other lawful requests to disclose your personal data to authorities or third parties.
– We may also disclose or otherwise process your personal data, in accordance with applicable law, to defend our legitimate interests (for example, in civil or criminal legal proceedings). For example, we may disclose such personal data as necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against a person or entity who may be violating our Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use, or who may be causing injury to, or interfering with, other users of our Digital Platforms.
– In the event that Hermès or Hermès group companies, or all or part of its or their assets, are acquired by a third party, your personal data may be included in the transferred assets.
7. How do we protect your personal data?
All your personal data is strictly confidential and will only be accessible, on a need-to-know basis, to duly authorized personnel of Hermès and other entities of the Hermès Group and third providers acting on our behalf with appropriate technical and organizational security safeguards.
The Hermès group has implemented security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access and use. We follow appropriate security procedures in the storage and disclosure of your personal data so as to prevent unauthorized access by third parties and to prevent your data being accidentally lost. We limit those who access your personal data to those who have a genuine business need to access it. Those who do access your data are subject to a duty of confidentiality towards Hermès.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
We also require those parties to whom we transfer your personal data to comply with the same. However, unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. So, we cannot ensure the security of your personal data transmitted by you to us via the internet. Any such transmission is at your own risk and you acknowledge and agree that we shall not be responsible for any unauthorized use, distribution, damage or destruction of Your Information, except to the extent we are required to accept such responsibility under the law. Once we have received your personal data, we will use the security measures abovementioned.
