Fancy yourself as the next Jonathan Ive or Frank Nuovo?
Here’s a chance to prove that.
LG, Crowdspring and Autodesk have kicked off the ‘Design the Future’ event to audition for ideas on what a mobile phone should look like in the next few years.
The idea is to let users design a concept phone that could become part of the LG portfolio. "We’re not looking for a long list of specs or phone ideas that already
exist," says the competition web site. "We’re looking for a cool new concept or big idea supported by
usage scenario illustration."
Entrants will have to use the Autodesk Sketchbook Pro software to design their concept phone. The competition will pick 43 entries as finalists and there’s some good prize money available for the winners: $20,000 for the first place, $10,000 for the second place and $5,000 for the third place. More details of the competition are here including judging criteria. And yes, feasibility of design is a factor.
The deadline to submit their entries is June 7 and the winners are expected to be announced a month later.
