We at DIP are very much looking forward to this year’s competition and are already working hard behind the scenes as entries start to arrive.
As you may already know, we are looking for a product which helps people improve or monitor their health and wellbeing, which should be made primarily from plastics.
Chairman of DIP, Martin Sixsmith says that with increased focus on the self-care agenda, the 2025 theme offers an exciting opportunity for creating a product which can seamlessly integrate into daily life and which can help all age groups.
“This is a subject which resonates with many people and it therefore offers a huge amount of scope for students to showcase their creative talents for the benefit of others,” he says. “We are very much looking forward to seeing their end product!”
Sustainability is one of the key considerations applied by the DIP judges when critiquing the many designs submitted. Students entering the competition are asked to show evidence that a clear understanding of the principles of sustainability has been applied to their design. This is something we reinforce in the briefs we produce each year.
Students will need to submit their entries by March 14, when DIP’s panel of industry judges will whittle the submissions down to a final six. Final judging will take place in London on May 9, with the award ceremony on June 20.
