Designers of the Future Awards

Sponsored by:

We’re looking for entries for the 2008 Designers of the Future awards, organised in conjunction with Design Show Liverpool.

As Head Judge – design entrepreneur and style expert Wayne Hemingway MBE - says, “It’s all about the idea, not about how good at drawing you are”.

The awards are open to anyone aged 14-16, and are aimed at recognising young designers with imagination and passion.

If you’re a youngster with a clever idea or a teacher who can spot the creative talents of your students, then we want to hear from you. “It doesn’t matter if you come 1st, 2nd or 3rd, just have fun doing it”, adds Wayne.

About the show
