Design Student Competitions

Design competitions span product design, UX, graphic communication, service design and interaction design. They ask students to tackle briefs from real brands and social organisations, producing work that can go directly into production or public display. Prizes range from mentorship with senior designers and studio internships to publication in international design annuals. These competitions are ideal for building a portfolio that stands out to employers, graduate schools and clients who want proof of your ability to deliver under a creative brief.

Trusted by 640,000+ students worldwide
