IED recognizes talent, creativity and Latin American design.

The 7th Edition of LADFEST Latin American Design Festival, will be held from June 29th to July 1st in Lima-Peru.

LADFEST is the most important design and creativity event in Peru and the most influential in Latin America. An annual event, where conferences, workshops, exhibitions and the ceremony of the LAD Awards, will be held.

IED will collaborate and participate in this new edition, through recognition with a scholarship for a summer course in July 2024 at IED campuses in spain. The scholarship will be awarded to the winner of the "LAD Young Talent 2023" that is part of LADFEST.

LAD Young Talents recognizes the creative work of young designers under 30 year old,  who have an innovative and disruptive portfolio in the world of design.

 This is an opportunity for designers to share and exhibit their work, make themselves known to the creative community, and connect with other professionals at the largest design festival in the region.

 Under the principles of Latin American Design, LAD Young Talents aims to bring together young talents so that their work transcends and inspires the next Latin American promises.
