The Thirst for Design Competition
On July 12, 2010, Vapur, Dwell Magazine and Opportunity Green teamed up to launch the Vapur Thirst for Design Competition. This competition was hosted on the international competitive design site, jovoto, inviting emerging artists around the world to design on our unique canvas; the Vapur Anti-Bottle®. Submissions were reviewed by an online creative community and three winning designs were curated by an esteemed panel of judges.

The Winners
The Thirst for Design competition took place over a six-week period, during which almost 300 submissions and over 1,000 individual designs were entered. Selecting the winners was the most difficult part. Lucky for us, our esteemed panel of judges made the process of narrowing down the finalist much easier! The three winning designs, Bottle Dweller, Aqua Libre and Shark Bait, selected by these judges became the first edition of the Vapur Artist Series.
In addition to the Artist Series winners, the jovoto designers also chose six “Community Winners,” who won cash prizes based on votes cast by jovoto community. See these great designs below!
