Student Design Awards
We invite young designers from across the globe to answer design briefs that focus on the most pressing social and environmental challenges.
The Student Design Awards judging panels are curated to have a diverse range of expertise related to each brief challenge across different industries. This includes brief partners, Student Design Award alumni and RSA Fellows.
Meet the Student Design Awards 2023-34 judges who will be evaluating submissions for each brief and find out what changemaker expertise and industry knowledge they are bringing to the process.
