JANUS et Cie Student Design Competition asks Students to design three manufacturable pieces that serve as placemaking devices. Students can choose three from the following five options: a seating fixture, light fixture, planter, shade structure, and outdoor toy or game table, with particular emphasis on the dynamic relationship between pieces—how they cluster, group, and fit together to establish a PLACE for dialogue and community.

Eligibility:
The competition is open to US and international junior- and senior-level design students. Or those in their final two years of a design program who do not have an undergraduate degree in design or a related field.

Prizes:
The judges award one grand prize for overall outstanding achievement, and four finalist prizes. Each finalist prize will be distinguished by a specific area of excellence.

Submission Overview:

Each submission must have sketches, renderings, scenario and storyboard, and a video narration, with optional images of scale models and prototypes. Submissions should include two separate files: 1 PDF of sketches, renderings, storyboard, photos, etc. and 1 video file in MP4 format (file size not to exceed 100 MB).
