Call for Participation: Chiang Mai Design Week 2025

Open from May 15 – June 30, 2025

Here’s your chance to become a “creator” at a national-level design festival — powering up Northern-style creativity and elevating the local through boundless collaboration.

Chiang Mai Design Week is where creative minds come together. New doors swing wide open when local communities team up with networks, both near and far. Together, we can navigate change and drive our communities and cities toward meaningful, creative growth.

Entering a new decade of Thailand’s first design festival, Chiang Mai Design Week returns with the concept 𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗣𝗟𝗨𝗦—aiming to elevate Chiang Mai and the northern region as a positive-thinking space for fresh ideas, innovation, people, joy, and seeds of creativity. Here, design is more than just beauty and function—it’s a real, tangible force that drives the economy and society forward.

We welcome entries from both Thai and international creatives between May 15 – June 30, 2025, in the following categories:

1. Showcase and Exhibition – Present works that propose solutions or improve quality of life, with potential for real-world application.

2. Creative Activities – Including events, workshops, talks, tours, music, and performance.

3. POP Market – Open to vendors offering design products and local brands that showcase regional potential through creative, sustainable, and eco-conscious living, such as fashion, lifestyle goods, home décor, and food.

4. Venues – Open call for spaces with the potential to host exhibitions or creative activities, including studios, shops, restaurants, hotels, warehouses, open spaces, and more.
