Judging process
The RSA appoints a different judging panel for each Student Design Awards project, usually comprising a chair selected from the RSA Council or the Faculty of Royal Designers for Industry, together with design professionals, design educators and representatives of the sponsoring organisations.
Although each panel may work in a slightly different way, all are looking for responses to the brief that are clear, demonstrate an innovative and creative approach and a high quality execution of ideas.
The RSA's process is rigorous, taking place over two stages:
- initial viewing by all the judges of each of the entries submitted in order to draw up a shortlist
- interviews of each of the students on the list, where their work is discussed in detail.
Only then can decisions be made about winners and awards. The judging panel members for each 2011/12 brief are now available online. To view the judging panel members, go to the project pages or click below.
