As the deadly pandemic still continues to threaten especially across the world, many of us became conscious of how much important face masks are. While face masks may cause a slight inconvenience, these protective gear maybe the only barrier between us to prevent the transmission of the deadly coronavirus.
These masks are too often missing a personality as they are just too plain. That’s why Kingston Technology partners with CSD, a leading brand of face masks, to come up with an initiative entitled “Kingston x CSD APAC Mask Design Competition” calling all designers and creative minds to make compelling and unique face mask design.
The competition is centered around the theme of ‘There’s Strength in Memory’ with the designs based on their enchanting memories and life experiences. Both companies believe that during this unfortunate, unprecedented time, our memories have the power to hold us together and give us immense strength like nothing else.
It is open to residents in APAC such as Taiwan, India, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore and Hong Kong with the prizes worth up to USD $14,400.
The good people from Kingston technology gave us an exclusive actual samples of the top 10 finalist chosen in the competition. We will reveal the designs they made using the CSD face mask.
