Contest rules for the 10^th Anniversary of Naguisa, organized by Taller Naguisa S.L., tax ID No. B65848236 and business address at C/Alexandre Goicoechea, 6 local 10 de Sant Just Desvern, Barcelona

1. AIM

The aim of this Contest is to reward the Naguisa community that creates a talented design of a shoe with a jute sole that complies with the founding principles upheld by the brand. The initial edition of this contest is part of the communication project that the brand has been implementing for some years now. The purpose of said project is to give Naguisa wearers an up-close look at how the shoes are designed and created. The goal is to educate the community about the work that goes into creating a product, and not just the creation of an object for consumption. Therefore, we hope that Naguisa customers will apply their enthusiasm, imagination, and talent to innovate and reinterpret what will represent the rebirth of the Naguisa brand 10 years after its initial foundation.
