design competitions...

During the Creativity in Context module we have been encouraged to consider design competitions as a tool for expanding our current knowledge and skills. A design competition would also improve our design prospects once we have completed the MA.

I have looked into possible competitions that would be able to run alongside my design project, as I would not be looking to take on extra unrelated work, rather add to the work I would already be producing. I came across http://www.dexigner.com/agenda/ which features a comprehensive list of competitions of a range of areas from interiors, product to industrial design. I have found a couple listed within the website that interest me, but will require further research into before I decide to persue further;

• TSA Poster Competition
• Greenpeace Design Awards
• Red Dot Award: Design Concept 2009
• Spark Awards
