CALL FOR ENTRIES FOR LEXUS DESIGN AWARD 2017: NEW
IDEAS AT MILAN DESIGN WEEK, MENTORSHIP, AND
PROTOTYPE FUNDING
Submissions are now open for the LEXUS DESIGN AWARD 2017, an
annual international design com-petition for young designers, engineers,
architects, and artists.
Lexus invites up-and coming creators from around the world to propose
projects and ideas that can help to shape a better future. The Award
connects emerging designers with mentorship from some of the world’s
leading design minds, prototype production funds, and the opportunity to
show at Milan Design Week:
Twelve finalists will be invited to exhibit their works at a Lexus exhibition
space during Milan Design Week (Salone de Mobile) in April 2017.
Four winners among the 12 finalists will receive mentorship from leading
design minds and up to $30,000 of funding to cover prototype production
costs. The four winners will create prototypes between January and March
2017, through sessions with their assigned mentors.
Each of the twelve finalists will be asked to give a presentation at Milan
Design Week 2017.
A single Grand Prix winner will be named from among the four prototypes
through final review by the judges and will receive production support from
Lexus, as well as further mentorship from the elite judges.
