The IYDE awards are unique in rewarding entrepreneurial ability. We recognise that a finalist may be active as a designer, however his/her work as an artist should be secondary to their focus as an entrepreneur in the promotion of the design industry in their country. Artistic talent will not be factored into the judging procedure – finalists will be judged solely on the merit of their entrepreneurial abilities in the industry.
Application is open to all South African nationals.
Applicants should:
- Be aged between 25 and 35
- Already be working in the design sector (see sector list below)
- Be entrepreneurial and have shown their ability in the promotion of South African design, in either a commercial or public context, or both
- Through their character, drive and abilities demonstrate their potential to be a future leader of the sector in their country
- Have English language skills to IELTS 6 - ‘competent user’ or above
