We are thrilled to unveil another patron for the 13th edition of hasztag#EYEC2025, with the generous support of the James Dyson Award!
The James Dyson Award is an international design award that celebrates, encourages and inspires the next generation of design engineers. It’s open to current and recent design engineering students, and is run by the James Dyson Foundation, James Dyson’s charitable trust, as part of its mission to get young people excited about design engineering.
The James Dyson Award is your chance to make a name for yourself as an inventor. Those who enter can win up to £30,000 and gain global exposure for their invention. As well as winning a significant cash prize, you could generate media exposure to kick-start your career, earn the esteem of your peers – and perhaps gain the confidence to launch your own business. Entering is simple. Find out how to enter
The brief is broad. We’re looking for designers who think differently, to create products that work better.
Engineers follow an iterative design process. The judges – and James Dyson especially – are drawn to designs that employ clever yet simple engineering principles and address clear problems.
As well as proving your project’s technical viability, we’d also love to see that it’s commercially viable, too – so include any research you’ve done into manufacturing costs and retail prices.
James Dyson will also look for entries that address a sustainability issue, or have been designed, sourced or manufactured sustainably.
Entries open: 12 March – 16 July 2025
