Organised by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (IKSV), the third Istanbul Design Biennial will take place from 22 October to 20 November 2016.
The Biennial will take place across five main venues, including Galata Greek Primary School, Studio-X Istanbul, Depo in Karaköy, and Alt in Bomonti – all free of charge. Entrance to the fifth venue, the Istanbul Archaeological Museums, will require a museum ticket.
Dezeen are media partners for this year's event. Twenty Dezeen readers will win a guided tour of the exhibition at Galata Greek Primary School as part of this competition.
Entitled Are We Human? The Design of the Species, this year's exhibition is curated by Beatriz Colomina and Mark Wigley. It will focus on the relationship between design and the human species over the last 200,000 years.
Four themes will be explored during the show, including designing the body, designing the planet, designing life and designing time. Designers, architects, artists, historians, archaeologists and scientists from 13 countries will present over 70 projects.
"Humans have always been radically reshaped by the designs they produce and the world of design keeps expanding," explained the curators.
"We live in a time when everything is designed, from our carefully crafted individual looks and online identities, to the surrounding galaxies of personal devices, new materials, interfaces, networks, systems, infrastructures, data, chemicals, organisms, and genetic codes."
The exhibition will also feature three initiatives, including The Open Call for Videos that received over 200 submissions from 36 countries.
The Superhumanity collaboration with e-flux will present more than 50 international writers, while a group of experts in Turkey will build an inventory of design and working library for the Turkey Design Chronology project.
The winners of the Dezeen Istanbul Design Biennial competition will each receive a ticket to the guided tour. Winners must provide their own transport and accommodation.
Guided tour tickets can also be purchased through Ticketmaster from mid September.
This competition is now closed. Twenty winners will be selected at random and notified by email, and their names will be published at the top of this page. Dezeen competitions are international and entries are accepted from readers in any country.
