Student RGDs, Junior Affiliates and Provisional RGDs are invited to post on Instagram or LinkedIn for the chance to win a $500 scholarship and free registration to DesignThinkers 2023 in Toronto.

Seven $500 scholarships will be provided by industry sponsors BLVD, Cinnamon Toast, Davis, Frontier, Fusion Design Group, Office/Bureau and Pound & Grain. The scholarships will help cover the winners’ expenses to attend the conference. They will also receive a free two-day registration to the event.

The theme for our DesignThinkers 2023 Toronto Scholarship Program is the “Future of Design.”

How to enter

1. Set your Instagram profile to public. Then, post a piece of work that best represents you and your goals for the future (e.g. an area you’d like to work in).

2. For an additional opportunity to be considered by our judges and receive a Scholarship, also post a project on LinkedIn.

3. Hashtag your posts with #HeyRGD and #HeyRGDTO. You must use both hashtags.⁠
4. Complete the application form.

Winners will be chosen based on the strength of their work and responses on the form.

Canada’s largest annual design conference, DesignThinkers is back in Toronto this November 2–3.
