Deadline: July 20, 2017
Are you a student designer or engineer? Do you have an idea that solves a problem? Do you know someone with original design solutions? The James Dyson Award is open for entries. The James Dyson Award is an international design award that celebrates, encourages and inspires the next generation of design engineers. The Award is open to current and recent design engineering students.
The Brief: Design something that solves a problem. James Dyson Foundation is looking for designers who think differently to create products that work better.
