ITS Contest 2018
So Bold almost Incredible
The ITS Contest 2018 concept is a call for everyone to ""Be Bold" just like the ITS finalists who are not afraid to show themselves, their dreams and their obsessions through their creativity. The Jury sees among others Marni Creative Director Francesco Risso together with digital influencers Bryanboy and Leaf Greener. The outstanding quality of the finalists' projects results in extra prizes, presented on catwalk, among others, by OTB President Renzo Rosso.

Concept
So Bold almost Incredible
“So Bold, Almost Incredible” explores courage as action rather than declaration: a force that drives change, discovery, and self-affirmation. Courage emerges when facing fear, uncertainty, and the unknown, guided by intuition rather than certainty. In a time marked by global anxieties and rapid transformation, boldness becomes both necessity and virtue. It lives in everyday gestures, personal identities, creative risks, and collective acts of resistance. The concept celebrates those who dare to expose themselves, challenge limits, and step into the void—embodying the spirit of ITS and its finalists.
