Fenn Young Designers Award (FYDA) celebrates excellence in creativity and innovation in the world of design. Our aim is to provide a platform for young designers to express their creativity outside the usual "Brief" formula. Entries can be made across a very broad spectrum of project types:

• Buildings
• Interiors
• Landscaping
• Refurbishment
• Urban projects
• Fine art
• Furniture
• Product designs

Theme for the 2013 edition is: A new Learning Environment.

As technology advance in spades our lives are changing dramatically. Generations’ technological gap is widening greatly and parents are finding it difficult to understand their kids and deal with their ways of working, learning and socializing. It is even more obvious in schools where the challenges faced by teachers, curricula and physical facilities are immense. Kids’ ways of learning, their multitasking skills are changing. Sitting in a quiet room surrounded with rows of books is becoming almost obsolete. Kids are looking for interactive environments, environments that allow them to work, share, socialize, and learn.

All entries will be juried and awarded by a distinguished international panel of architects, designers, artists.

There is no entry fee.
