Design Directions - an innovative programme of awards
This RSA awards scheme challenges professional designers-in-training to apply their skills to difficult social issues.
Design Directions 2009/10 - one project now available!
Projects for the coming scheme will be available by early August.
In advance of that, we are running one brief to an earlier timetable - Working Late - available now.
Open to students, new and recent graduates, and those already working as designers, this brief has a submission deadline of Friday 18 September.
Working Late - schedule of key dates
Developed with a collaborative research project taking place at Loughborough University called 'Working Late', this brief looks at how the health of people in the workplace can be improved and maintained. It is set in the broader context of many people now working much later in their lives than ever before. This brief is launched early as the research team have the intention of implementing the ideas as part of their year long trial which begins in November, so offering a great opportunity for winning participants seeing their proposal implemented and to work with the team on its implementation.
There is a prize of £2000.
Entry does not preclude participation in another of the briefs in the autumn, so tell your friends!
An entry pack for this project will be available soon
