About Competition
LEXUS in collaboration with designboom present the Lexus Design Award 2019, international design competition that targets up-and-coming creators from around the world. Since 2013, this international competition provides a unique opportunity for six finalists to work with globally recognized designers as mentors to create prototypes of their designs, and then exhibit them at one of the design calendar’s most important events.
Making the world a better place through design has always been the program’s purpose and now, in its seventh year, the 2019 award makes that objective clearer than ever under this year’s theme of "Design for a Better Tomorrow".
There are four categories:
• Architecture
• Product Design
• Fashion
• Engineering
Organizer are looking for “DESIGN” that goes beyond the mastery of shape, form and function, and becomes a solution to overcome challenges.
Guidelines:
• Your design will need to incorporate three principles fundamental to Lexus: “Anticipate. Innovate. Captivate.” Your design should anticipate the needs of the user experience as well as benefit society. It needs to demonstrate innovation with fresh, imaginative solutions. It should also command attention, captivating users, audience and judges alike with its compelling concept and execution.

• Video of concept or prototype in action (optional) - the voluntary addition of up to 2 video files can be uploaded as either vimeo or youtube format.
• Please provide a brief description of your design - let them know about your research and point out the artistic and technological qualities. You should also consider a broad spectrum of issues that demonstrate and showcase the ways in which your design can enrich people’s lives. Please explain how you plan to further develop the work.
Judging criteria:
• anticipate - does the concept and design anticipate e not only the needs of the user experience, but the need of society?
• innovate - does the design demonstrate new thinking and originality in its proposal and execution?
• captivate - is the design intriguing and compelling when realized in concept and execution?
