How to enter

1. Set your Instagram profile to public. Then, pick a piece of your social good design work, aka projects that help to design a better tomorrow. It can be old work, new work or old work you've already posted.⁠
2. Hashtag it with #HeyRGD and #HeyRGDVan23 by editing your post or adding it to the caption/comments. You must use both hashtags.⁠
3. To increase your chances of winning, provide a brief explanation of your design choices and how they achieve the project's goals.⁠

NEW: 4. Fill out this short form and add the links to your posts.

Note: You cannot win a #heyRGD scholarship twice in a year (e.g. for DesignThinkers Vancouver and Toronto).

Winners will be selected by a Judge from each sponsoring company. Winners will be chosen based on the strength of their work and explanation of their choices and process.

Canada's largest annual design conference, DesignThinkers is back in Vancouver this May 30-31.
