Understanding what it takes to get a successful career in design off the ground, Launch Pad has tailored its 2011 prizes to help achieve just this.

There are numerous facets to having a product ’picked up’ by a distributor or manufacturer, getting a business up and running, and keeping the whole operation running smoothly.
With this in mind, Launch Pad has selected a unique set of career-boosting opportunities for the Winning Finalists of Launch Pad’s 2011 program.
