Information on how to enter and prizes form part of the Official Rules, please read them carefully before entering. Below we summarize the most important steps.

Lexus created the LEXUS DESIGN AWARD, an international design competition, to help support the next generation innovators who produce "DESIGN" to enrich our world. The award seeks entries from around the world and opens the call for entries for the 6th competition on (Mon) July 24, 2017.

Lexus was launched in the U.S. in 1989 as a premium car brand from Japan. As a truly global premium car brand with the vision of Progressive Luxury, Lexus has been pursuing and presenting different values from those of conventional luxury cars. We have been striving not only to create a more luxurious experience through automobiles, but also to help in solving many issues that have come along the way. Lexus thinks that "DESIGN" is a process in problem solving and a solution to shape a better society and future. Lexus is announcing the continuation of the LEXUS DESIGN AWARD to support future creators who can enrich the world. By providing the opportunity to embody unique ideas, create and exhibit prototypes through sessions with world-famous designers as mentors, we hope to help next generation talent flourish. We welcome designers from all fields: architecture, product design, fashion. We’re looking for "DESIGN" that goes beyond the mastery of shape, form and function, and becomes a process and solution to overcome challenges.

The theme for the LEXUS DESIGN AWARD 2018 is 'CO-'.

At Lexus, we believe that the ultimate purpose of design is to make our world a better place. Design can be a powerful agent of change that enables us to create a brighter future. This year’s LDA theme “CO-” embodies this ideal.

In Latin, “CO-” is a prefix meaning together or in partnership.

This theme expresses how Lexus seeks the harmonious coexistence of nature and society through sustainable design. “CO-” is an approach that allows us to explore our potential and that of our environment by creating new possibilities through collaboration, coordination and connection.

Let "CO-" inspire you to conceive a world full of hope and possibilities.

The application period of the LEXUS DESIGN AWARD 2018 is from July 24, 2017 at 9:00 (CET), and qualifying Submissions must be received by October 8, 2017, 23:59 (CET)
