METROPOLIS SEEKS TO IDENTIFY THE NEXT GENERATION OF BIG IDEAS BY THE
NEXT GENERATION OF DESIGNERS.
DO YOU HAVE A BIG IDEA YOUﾕRE ACHING TO DEVELOP? DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE? SHORT ON CASH?
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY.

The Metropolis Next Generation Design Prize was established to recognize
and encourage the talent of today's rising stars in design. The cash
prize of $10,000 will be awarded to an individual or office whose Big
Design Idea will benefit people and the environment, and will challenge
design professionals to create human-centered products, environments,
and communication systems. Since 1981 Metropolis Magazine has been at
the forefront of reporting and analyzing design and architecture as a
humanist activity. We pay special attention
to grass roots environmentalism, universal access, and technology, and
how these influence the designed environment.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
The Next Generation Design Prize is open to anyone who has been a
designer for ten years or less. The prize is intended to promote
designers who are thinking about sustainability, universal access, and
new technology. We encourage submissions from all disciplines including
architecture, interior design, industrial design, experience design,
communication design, and urban planning. We are looking
for evidence of productive collaborations between disciplines.

WHAT SHOULD I SUBMIT?
Submissions may be ideas/projects that deal with spatial uses (efficient
and supportive environments, be these for home, work, or play; interior
or exterior); product designs that serve everyday life, including
furniture, lighting, and other furnishings; communication systems that
enhance understanding and encourage learning; or planning that considers
natural resources as well as human and community resources.

DO I PAY A FEE TO ENTER?
Entry fees are $50 for each submission. All entries must be postmarked
by December 15, 2003. Late entries (postmarked after December 15, 2003)
