Designers Offer Post-Brexit Covers for the British Passport

Industry April, 7 2017 Glib Savchenko

Participants of the contest held by Dezeen showed their vision of the British citizen's identification document after Brexit.

The British government has recently allocated funds to develop and manufacture new passports: they will be used after the process of exiting the European Union is finalized (now, the cover of the document has ‘European Union’ written on it). Dezeen organized a contest for the best design of the new passport and received over 200 submissions made by authors from 34 countries.

The organizers made it clear that the contest was unofficial and the winning projects will hardly be accepted by the government. Nevertheless, Dezeen promised to show the best works to representatives of the corresponding departments and try to get feedback from them. The name of the winner will be announced on April 11, meanwhile the jury shortlisted nine projects.
