Although conceived before the coronavirus lockdown, the Samsung Out of the Box Competition
is perfectly timed for this period in which many people are having to work from 
and remain in their home, staring at their four walls.

 

 

 

It is not specifically for charities or social good, but it is possible that fundraisers
and charity supporters might well come up with a solution that has a social benefit.

 

 

 

The contest seeks innovative designs for the home that can be made by repurposing
cardboard packaging.

 

 

 

The competition is open until **29 May 2020**. It is free to enter for anyone over
the age of 18 anywhere in the world and features prize money totalling $20,000.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

## Samsung’s Eco-Packaging cardboard box

 

 

 

The contest has developed from Samsung’s introduction of its Eco-Packaging cardboard
box. This is designed to reduce the chances of the packaging in which it distributes
its TVs. The packaging provides customers with a way to repurpose its television
packaging into new household items.

 

 

 

The cardboard is printed with a dot matrix pattern which, when the box is opened
out, can be used as a guide to create a range of different objects for the home 
by cutting and reassembling the box.
