3. Guerrilla marketing: unpredictable material, for actions along the lines of street art.

REGISTRATION AND PARTICIPATION
To enter the competition, participants must go to the website www.design-center.it and fill in the online registration form. Once registration has been completed , participants will receive a confirmation mail with a personal alphanumerical code.
