The winner will receive a $30,000 grant and a trip to Salone del Mobile furniture fair in Milan. Four runners up will get $2,500 each and the five remaining finalists will receive $1000
With the aim to take the award outside a ‘traditional gallery space’ and bring design to a wider audience, the finalist designs will form part of the Design Discovery Award Exhibition to be hosted at Establishment, Sydney, in November this year – going on to travel to Melbourne and Brisbane in 2010.
The Award ceremony will be held in Sydney, presented by a VIP international guest, yet to be announced.
