A global call for ingenious inventors

DEADLINE: JULY 20:The James Dyson Award for innovators is open for entries, giving students and recent graduates of engineering and design a unique opportunity to show their problem-solving inventions on a global stage.



The James Dyson Award for innovators is open for entries, giving students and recent graduates of engineering and design a unique opportunity to show their problem-solving inventions on a global stage. The brief is simple, design something which solves a problem, big or small. The international winner will gain global exposure through the competition, and Rs 26,00,000 as prize money to develop their idea.

This is the second season for the award in the country. Last year, three Indian entries made it to the international top 20 shortlist, with Asish Mohandas, Creator, Maattam being recognised as the national winner for India in 2017.

This year the annual competition will include entries from a further four nations: Mexico, UAE, Sweden and the Philippines.

The process: Entries are judged first at the national level – before progressing to the international stage. A panel of Dyson engineers select an international shortlist of 20 entries. The Top 20 projects are then reviewed by Sir James Dyson, who selects the international winner.

Deadline: July 20, 2018

How to enter: Candidates enter through an online application via the James Dyson Award website.

Eligibility criteria: Entrants must be, or have been within the last four years, enrolled for at least one semester in an undergraduate or graduate engineering or design program at a university in a country or region chosen to participate in the James Dyson Award.
