Competition: win a post-Brexit passport cover designed by Sam Jacob
Dezeen has teamed up with architect Sam Jacob to give away five of his Citizen of Nowhere passport covers, which reference a comment made by UK prime minister Theresa May after the Brexit vote.
Jacob's design sees a dark-red cover emblazoned with the slogan "Citizen of Nowhere" and a globe symbol.
The architect created the cover in response to the speech where May said: "If you believe you're a citizen of the world, then you're a citizen of nowhere".
The statement was hugely controversial with those who voted to remain in the EU ? and was described by one opposing politician as "quite evil".
"The nationalist ideas that have surfaced with Brexit, Trump's America First and elsewhere seem regressive retreats from progressive internationalism," Jacob told Dezeen. "The Citizen of Nowhere passport holder is for all of us who think that being a citizen of the world is a good thing," he continued. "It's good that we recognise we are citizens of our own country and the world, and that these things aren't mutually exclusive."
