Fujitsu has teamed up with designboom for the Design Award 2011, which they call “a new international design competition challenging people to create new lifestyles from next-generation computing”.
There are two categories for entries: LIFEBOOK, examining the state of the PC in 2013, and LIFE-DESIGN, showcasing ideas for what ICT computing will have become in 2020.
Top prize is €30,000 (about $39,000), so it does pay to have foresight, and there are plenty of runner-up awards too. The judging panel includes top Fujitsu design people, the designer Ross Lovegrove, architects Ma Yansong and Gwenael Nicolas, and IT innovator Toshiyuki Inoko.
Since we are seeing so many more and more integrated devices, it will be really interesting to see the LIFE-DESIGN category entries and the kind of handsets-that-do-everything ideas people propose.
Anyone is eligible, including groups. Go to designboom for how to enter but be sure to register by January 31.
