The John Hardy Group has announced a call for entries for its 2016 Radical Innovation Award. Now in its tenth year, Radical Innovation is an incubator led by top hospitality executives and design minds seeking to challenge the hotel industry and elevate guest experience using progressive thinking in design and operations.
The Radical Innovation Award invites contestants to submit their ideas for the next big hotel concept and compete for a grand prize including $10K to further their concept, as well as chance to have their idea realized.
The competition is open to all; both students and professionals are encouraged to enter. All entries require a clear and compelling brief along with realistic design renderings showing how the concept would be brought to life. The jury will judge concepts on creativity and design, as well as potential impact on the industry.
The jury will select three finalists, including one student winner, to participate in the Radical Innovation live event. Finalists will be provided transportation to New York City, where they will pitch their ideas on-stage at the New Museum on September 28th. A live vote by audience and jury members will determine the grand prize-winner and recipient of the $10K cash prize.
The deadline for entries is May 6, 2016.
