Entry criteria

The Designers of the Future competition is open to all Key Stage 4 Design & Technology students.

The aim is to showcase the work of Merseyside students at the show itself, inspire their creativity and help develop their ideas about design and craftsmanship.

Most GCSE Design & Technology syllabuses already require students to develop a working model or detailed plans of a product. These designs or models can be entered into the competition or, if preferred, new items can be entered.  Entries may be complete prototypes, drawings or just clearly-expressed ideas. It is not necessary to have a final, finished product to enter the competition.

We are looking to receive entries from a wide range of schools and students, and have tried to make the entry process as simple as possible.

Note for teachers

To request posters & leaflets to help us advertise the competition to your pupils, please email us at schools@designshowliverpool.com

School groups are welcomed at the show: we can offer free entry and special demonstrations to inspire your class – contact us for details.

Please remember, we are not necessarily looking for final finished products from your pupils – prizes will be awarded for great ideas, whatever their stage of development may be.
