This year’s design theme is ‘Love-Africa’ – Big Blue is not looking for the usual clichéd boerewors-afro-braai shpiel, but want designs that creatively celebrate Africa as a continent. Entries are open to anyone who feels they have an original t-shirt design that fits the design theme; the winning designer receives R20 000 in cash and their t-shirt will be sold in all Big Blue and Kitsch+Kool stores nationwide for two months.
The name ‘Makhulu Polane’ was created using two local languages and very loosely translates as Big Idea. It has become a unique SA brand in its own right and a highly anticipated event on the annual design calendar. Makhulu Polane is a unique marketing concept that reaches both online and offline audiences and translates into real sales.

Competition closes for entries on 15th September. The award winning Makhulu Polane campaign is an original, annual event that encourages and celebrates South African design. Show us your Makhulu Polane and we’ll make you famous!
