to improve quality of life. This can be by prototyping a product, a service or
a public space design. These are small problems solved quickly and their story
told. Find out more here.

The films by the shortlisted nominees will be presented during Tallinn Design
Festival and later in international channels.

GUIDELINES:
Please be extra-careful to stick to the following guidelines when producing your Fixfilm:
- Films must be less than 3 minutes in duration
- Soundtrack – if music is used it must be royalty-free, be Creative Commons licensed or you permission has been granted from the artists for use in your film. Don’t get hung up on it – It is possible to make an interesting Fixfilm without music!
- Please give Fixperts a mention in the title or credits of your film – you can use our official logo if you like (no pressure though!)
- Don’t forget to include the name of your Fixpartner in the title of your film! Remember it’s a collaboration
