Nothing is back with another round of community-driven design. Following last year’s Gold iF Design Award winner glow-in-the-dark Phone (2a) Community Edition, the company is now inviting users to help design a special edition of its latest mid-range device, the Phone (3a).
For those unfamiliar, the Community Edition isn’t just a new colorway or a limited-edition variant. Instead, it’s a collaborative effort where fans play a direct role in designing elements of the phone, its accessories, and even its marketing.
Nothing Phone (3a) Community Edition Briefs
There are four stages for the 2025 Community Edition project, which includes:
- Hardware Design: Creating a unique visual identity for the Phone (3a).
- Software Design: Last year, this was limited to designing wallpapers, but this time, it includes new widgets and a clock icon pack.
- Accessory Design: A new addition where participants design an exclusive collectible or accessory to ship with the Community Edition.
- Marketing Campaign: Proposing key visuals, launch moments, or event ideas to promote the phone.
Want to get in on the action? You’ll need to submit a proposal in one of these categories, and only a select few will be chosen. Once submissions close on April 23rd, the Nothing community will vote for 24 hours to help pick the best ideas, after which internal juries will select four winners to bring their concepts to life. For added incentive, Nothing is awarding each winner a £1,000 cash prize.
The Community Edition is an excellent platform to showcase your skills and get your work in front of a massive audience. Whether you’re a designer, developer, or marketer, it’s a huge opportunity for exposure. In short, it’s a great way to market yourself while working on a real-world project. So, if you’ve got the skills—and a great idea—now’s the time to jump in.
