Dash Design Awards 2 Day Product Design Sprint
By condensing an action packed workshop into a laser focused 48 hours, our expert mentors will work with the most talented designers to help you create a phenomenal product concept and design in less than 2 days.
Where?
Nod makerspace, Splaiul Unirii 160, Industria Bumbacului, Sector 4, București
The Dash Design Awards focus on attracting the most talented individuals that have the skill set, mindset, imagination and ambition to bring their next big idea to the world. This year’s theme is WORK FROM HOME. We are trying to find ways of improving that, in order to find balance in the changes and challenges surrounding us these days.
Participants are invited to research, think and design a consumer product for the new world we live in – one that tackles urgent needs and solves a particular problem of this pandemic context, when it comes to carrying the office into our private lives.
The participants will receive the complete design brief 24 hours before the contest starts – that’s research time! The next 24 hours are for designing and creating a fresh, innovative design product that will not only improve our lives, but also enhance the way we work in the future.
Registration is open to designers, architects and students in both fields. There is no age limit. After registration closes, we’ll let you know if you have been selected to be among the 20 participants that will take part in the design sprint, at Nod makerspace, and work with us for the design product of the future, following the pitch together with the final selection process. We are looking forward to meet you!
