Established in 2013, the #Lexusdesignaward is an international #design competition that seeks to nurture up-and-coming designers who use #design thinking to solve everyday problems and build a better future for individuals and for society.
This year, six finalists will be selected from around the world to receive mentorship and a production budget of up to 3 million JPY (over $25K USD) to build a functional prototype to display at Lexus's exhibition at Milan #design Week 2019. A prototype will be selected to win the prestigious #Lexusdesignaward Grand Prix prize based on how the work integrates three fundamental principles from the #Lexus brand: "Anticipate", "Innovate", and "Captivate".
