Victorian Design Challenge 2020
Creative Victoria and the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) are offering a $20,000 major prize for professionals, $5000 for tertiary students and a tailored prize package for school students (primary and secondary) who present the best design idea in their category addressing one of Australia's fastest growing waste problems – e-waste.
The E-Waste Challenge aims to highlight the capacity and responsibility of designers to contribute to shifting behaviour, raising awareness, redesigning products, or devising smart end-of-life solutions that reduce the negative impacts of e-waste.
The expert jury will shortlist five submissions from the professional category (national) and three submissions from each student category (Victoria only) to go through to round two – a live 'pitch' presentation at the NGV during Melbourne Design Week (12–22 March 2020).
Registrations close Friday 1 November 2019. For more information, go to the E-Waste Challenge webpage.
