The RIMOWA Design Prize is a celebration of German design excellence through the empowerment of creative talents shaping the future. Founded on values of innovation, inclusivity, and global change, the prize is defining a new voice for the German design industry. The RIMOWA Design Prize is more than an incubator for aspirational ideas. It is an initiative that converts potential into tangible projects that have a lasting impact on global issues.
The RIMOWA Design Prize will be back in October with its 3rd edition, incl. an extended list of participating schools.
The prize gives students who advance into the first round the chance to benefit from a mentorship programme throughout the competition, spearheaded by a leading jury member. Alongside the mentorship programme, participants will also be offered various networking opportunities, a professional workplace to conduct their oeuvre, as well as infrastructural support to bring it all to life.
The RIMOWA Design Prize will celebrate seven finalists, who are selected by the jury, with a series of monetary awards. The winner will be awarded the sum of €20,000, the runner-up will be awarded a €10,000 prize package, while those in third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh place will receive a prize of €5,000 each.
