Submission Deadline: March 12, 2024

We are so happy you are submitting your design idea for the Michigan Design Prize 2024! Here is some information to help you submit your best design:
- We are looking for great ideas versus polished products. To help us understand your idea as best as possible, please provide photos of sketches, simple three- dimensional models/prototypes, or a combination of the two.
- Keep in mind that industrial design is about both functionality and beauty. How does it work and how does it look.
- In addition to representing your idea, we are looking for solutions to the challenge that demonstrate you took time to learn about your user and discover THEIR needs.
Who is your design for and what are their needs as it relates to the 2024 Design Prize Challenge?
