"The 21st century will be an era of confluence and fusion between cultures.
This is a perfect time for the rich heritage of Indonesian batik to meet American contemporary designs."

- Ambassador Dino Djalal

To celebrate the new US-Indonesia Partnership, Indonesia's Ambassador to the United States, Dr. Dino Patti Djalal, is launching a nation-wide competition to design 'American batik'.

Indonesian batik is a timeless art of fabric design known the world over for its vibrant colors and rich diversity of patterns and motifs. This competition is a challenge to US-based designers to craft batik designs with a distinct American style - hence the theme: "The spirit of America in the heritage of batik".

Submit your American batik design before August 1st, and win prize money, a two week batik tour to Indonesia and exhibitions in Indonesia and the U.S.

Winners will also be offered a commercial contract with an Indonesian batik design house.

Will you be among them?
