From architecture to interiors to objects and craft, do you love all things design? Well, we've secured two tickets to the fourth annual DESIGN Canberra so you can indulge your aesthetic desires. Oh, and you'll get use of a BMW for the weekend, so you'll be able to drive out there and around the city in style. Plus, you'll be put up for two nights at Canberra's VIBE hotel, and have a full weekend itinerary scheduled. We'll have you meeting artists, discovering local craft and experiencing some of the best spots in Canberra, including dinner on us. Interested? We thought so.

Running November 6–26, DESIGN Canberra is a celebration of our capital as a global city of design. Inspired by the spirit of modernism, the festival brings together Walter Burley and Marion Griffin's visionary design from a century ago, the iconic experimental modernist architecture of the 1950s and '60s and the contemporary and sustainable design developments of today — all coming together in a demonstration of Canberra as a living, breathing design hub. With over 100 (mostly free) events, exhibitions, talks, tours, activations, markets, collaborations, artist studios and open homes in the calendar — phew — DESIGN Canberra is sure to satiate your aesthetic desires this November.

The festival offers exciting insight into the talent pool of makers who are working, living and creating in the nation's capital. One of the most intriguing events is Living Rooms, which allows visitors to explore the living rooms of acclaimed Canberra houses. Pop-up design exhibitions with works on sale will be incorporated into the living rooms, so even if you can't buy the house, you can buy the furniture (homewares and jewellery too). Other events include architecture bus tours, design talks, open studios and that's just the tip of this design iceberg.

Not only will you win a full VIP itinerary for the weekend, have a Rolfe Classic BMW to drive and two nights accommodation at VIBE Hotel with breakfast included, but you'll also score dinner and wine for two at Canberra's stylish, ethical and eco-friendly Mocan & Green Grout.

Mark your calendars and enter your details below for a chance to win.
