iF Student Design Award 2016

We look for concepts by students, graduates and young designers from all design disciplines, that represent a response to future challenges and that consider intelligent and contemporary design strategies. An international expert jury decides about the winners and also recommends how the total prize money of EUR 30,000 will be distributed among some of the award winners.
Participation
Students and recent graduates from all design related courses and programs (for example product, packaging and communication design), architecture, marketing and engineering are welcome to register their entries. Graduates are eligible to participate if they graduated no more than two years ago.
Projects should not be older than two years by the time they are submitted. In addition to individual projects, works by small teams with no more than 4 team members will also be accepted.
Every participant can register as many entries as he likes. Every entry can only be registered once in the running competition. Registering the same entry twice, e.g. in different disciplines, is not allowed.

Participation in the iF STUDENT DESIGN AWARD is free of charge. You can register your entries online at „my iF“ until 7 January 2016.
