IED recognizes talent, creativity and Latin American design. The next edition of LADFEST Latin American Design Festival, will be held from september 8th to 10th in Cusco-Perú.

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

IED will collaborate and participate in this new edition, through recognition with a scholarship for a summer course in July 2026 at IED campuses in Spain. The scholarship will be awarded to the winner of the "LAD Young Talent 2025" 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 showcase their work, establish themselves within 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.
