James Dyson Award 2009

In partnership with the Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand, Dyson is once again looking to put New Zealand's best emerging product designer in the limelight. The New Zealand winner will travel with $3,000 spending money to the UK where they have the opportunity to meet with engineers from Dyson's world class Research, Design and Development facility, and other key members of the UK product design sector. The New Zealand winner’s prize pool includes an official fee IP prize package from IPONZ, a year's membership to DINZ, a Dyson vacuum cleaner, and $3,000 of legal or business advice from Farry.Co. IPONZ also holds an IP workshop with the New Zealand finalists.

This year, everyone's a winner. For the first time, all entries entered into New Zealand sector of the James Dyson Award  will be in the running for the international James Dyson Award, with GBP£10,000 up for grabs, plus another £10,000 to the global winner's design university to fund future design education projects.
