The intention behind this design competition is to inspire you and to encourage you to design a piece of the future – with ideas which are anything but average! Products that are at the heart of everyday life, appeal to potential customers and, last but not least, sell. An online pre-test will show you in advance what goes down well and will provide you with rapid feedback from the market – the favourites among the prize winners are selected and eventually presented to a broad public in a widely circulated catalogue. Professional public relations and an online exhibition ensure additional publicity – and could be the foundation of a successful career for you!
