To enter the Scholarship Program, Student RGDs, Provisional RGDs and Junior Affiliate Members were required to share their "design truths" on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. Building on the "Speak the Truth" theme of DesignThinkers 2018, the Scholarship Program encouraged emerging designers to be honest, open and candid about what design means to them.
Below are the Scholarship winners and their entries, each chosen by a generous industry Sponsor. The winners receive $500 from the Sponsor and a free DesignThinkers ticket, provided by RGD.
Congratulations to the Scholarship winners and to everyone else who entered! We were blown away by the creativity and honesty that went into so many of the entries.
To see all of the Scholarship entries, search #rgdDT on social media.
