Dezeen has teamed up with the Rosario Gagliardi Academy of Fine Arts to offer 30 readers the chance to participate in the first edition of MADE Labs, a design workshop and lecture programme taking place in Syracuse, Sicily, this summer.
Two winners will be offered an all-expenses-paid trip to join the eight-day MADE Labs programme, which gives architects, designers and artists the chance to develop a new project.
A further 28 winners will be invited to attend a workshop and lectures, courtesy of Italian ceramics company CEDIT Ceramiche d'Italia.

The workshops will be led by a number of leading figures from across the creative industries, including Bethan Laura Wood, Point Supreme, Arquitectura-G, Arabeschi di Latte and Fala Atelier. The lectures also feature well-known names from the world of architecture and design, including Ilse Crawford, Sam Jacob, Formafantasma, Max Lamb, Joseph Grima and OMA's Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli.
