Bpma Student Design Innovation Award
May 26, 2009 | Levent OZLER
The British Promotional Merchandise Association and leading worldwide innovator 3M have teamed up to launch the first promotional gift student design award.
The competition is specifically targeted towards product design students in the UK.
The UK promotional merchandise market is valued at in excess of £1.2bn and has seen an array of innovative products over the years, some appearing on Dragons Den.
"The industry constantly needs new and innovative ideas and we felt that by stimulating the UK's young student designers was a great place to start," commented Gordon Glenister, Director General of the bpma.
The competition closes on the 31st July 2009.
The winner will receive £2500 in cash along with an opportunity to take the winning design to prototype stage and possible manufacture.
All the short listed finalists will be invited to 3M's innovation centre in Bracknell to present their designs.
