Housewares Student Design Competition

Housewares Student Design Competition

The Student Design Competition sponsored by the International Housewares Association (IHA), began in 1993. It is recognized by design practitioners and professors as a valuable contribution to industrial design education. This rigorous competition is judged by design professionals and managers at housewares companies. Each entry receives two written evaluations. Top winners come to Chicago to exhibit their product concepts at the International Home + Housewares Show.

What is a Housewares Product?

Housewares products are consumer goods purchased by or for the user. They are portable: permanent installations such as lighting systems, sinks/bathtubs or major appliances (washing machines, full size refrigerators) are not considered housewares. Your project should meet a current consumer need or be a concept for a future product. Packaging and point-of-sale presentation may be included.

Who Can Enter?

Undergraduate and graduate industrial design students enrolled in a degree granting program at any university in
North America or other countries may enter. Spring 2018 graduates are eligible if the project was completed before graduation. A student may enter more than one project. Team projects are allowed. If a team project is selected as a winner, IHA pays for travel for one student and the team splits the cash award. The student submitting the application represents and affirms that the entrant named is the owner and originator of the application and all source materials submitted to IHA’s judges for this competition.

Online Entry Deadline: December 18, 2018 5 pm CST
