COMPETITION PRIZES

The Grand Prize

The overall winner in each year group will be offered a 2 month, paid, summer placement at Innovate Product Design.

The placement will involve:

• Mentoring by one of Innovate’s professional product designers
• Training in all areas of design consultancy work
• Working with clients on live briefs from your very first day
• Responsibility for your own projects, from start to finish

This is a great opportunity to get some hands-on experience in a dynamic, growing design consultancy. Innovate works on an extremely wide range of projects, making this a varied, challenging and above all fascinating role. As the UK’s leading invention development company, a placement at Innovate can open a lot of doors.

"Working with the Innovate design team has been excellent! I've had the opportunity to get to grips with a variety of different CAD modelling and rendering packages. The friendly atmosphere in the office and the willingness of the other designers to lend a hand or offer an opinion meant that I settled in really quickly and easily"
