James Dyson is on the hunt for bright minds with fresh ideas across the globe. If you have an invention that solves a problem, they want to hear about it. The James Dyson Award 2024 is an international design award that celebrates, encourages and inspires the next generation of design engineers. It’s open to current and recent design engineering students, and is run by the James Dyson Foundation, James Dyson’s charitable trust, as part of its mission to get young people excited about design engineering.
The brief is broad. They’re looking for designers who think differently, to create products that work better. Engineers follow an iterative design process. The judges – and James Dyson especially – are drawn to designs that employ clever yet simple engineering principles and address clear problems.
As well as proving your project’s technical viability, we’d also love to see that it’s commercially viable, too – so include any research you’ve done into manufacturing costs and retail prices. James Dyson will also look for entries that address a sustainability issue, or have been designed, sourced or manufactured sustainably.
