Submissions for Poundshop 7 are now closed. However we will be opening submissions for Poundshop at Selfridges soon, so in the meantime please check out the brief below. We are always open for early submissions!
We would like you to:
Design and produce one item to retail under the strict price brackets of £1, £5 or £10.
It must be a desirable, durable, value for money object.
Your product must have a function as well as being an attractive / well designed object. You must produce a fully realised prototype.
You must produce a fully realised prototype for submission.
Consider the following:
It must be able to retail for £1 and £5, this means your production cost per unit should be half of the retail price.You must make a profit to cover overheads and most importantly your time.
Functionality is the key!
It can be any size, cheap doesn’t have to mean small.
The product doesn’t need to change the world, but it should have a function.
Would you buy your own product? Many people produce products they wouldn’t use themselves. If you wouldn’t buy it, don’t expect others to.
Note: We will be selecting predominately £1 products. You may enter a maximum of three variations/products within each price band.
To submit please send a description and prototype of your product/products to:
