Prepare your work

Make sure all entry materials (text and images) are clear, concise and of the best possible quality. Poor quality visual media will weaken your application.

  2. To have made a decision on which category or categories you wish to enter the product.
  3. Textual content ready to cut and paste in to the relevant boxes. You have up to 400 characters (approximately 60 words), including spaces and punctuation, for each text box:
    • Design brief
    • Design challenges
    • Design results
  4. Between 4 and 10 good quality images of your product. Each image must be JPEG / JPG format and no bigger than 2MB in size. Images should also be no taller or wider than 2,500px. We do not accept images of plans, technical drawings, 3D renderings, CGIs or images that contain people.
