What: Selection of the Young Design Entrepreneur Award for the year 2008 by the British Council.

Who can apply:

Entrepreneurs between 25 and 35 years working in any of the following design sectors:

~ Architecture and environment

~ Interiors & experience design

~ Product design manufacture: furniture, industrial products and crafts

~ Design promotion: exhibitions, events, festivals and retail

We recognise that a participant may be active as a designer; however their work as an artist should be secondary to their focus as an entrepreneur in the promotion of design. Artistic talent will not be factored into the judging procedure -- finalists will be judged solely on the merit of their entrepreneurial abilities in the industry.
