Chance to design the personal communication of tomorrow with LG
Published Tue 21 Apr 2009
LG Mobile Phones, crowdSPRING and Autodesk have announced a new competition to define the future of personal mobile communication, with the chance to win $80,000.
For US residents (18 and over), you can have a chance to design your vision of the next revolutionary LG mobile phone and compete for the $20,000 top prize, $10,000 and $5,000 for second and third, then 40 prizes of $1,000 for the runners up.
According to the particpation web-site, LG are looking to 'what's next' and want to know what you, the designer, thinks mobile phones should look like in the near future.
The judges say they're not looking for a long list of specs or phone ideas that already exist, but rather new concepts or big ideas – but the LG logo must be included somewhere. Judging criteria include the basis of need fulfillment/market potential, creativity/originality/innovation as the to leading criteria, then feasibility and polish/appeal.
Submissions may be illustrated or rendered in any format - hand sketches, digital drawings, or renderings, and the rendering tool used will not affect judging process. You may submit as many entries as you like, with Autodesk sponsoring the event and providing a 15-day trial of SketchBook Pro to anyone that enters here.
