The new Helen Hamlyn Design Awards is an open competition that rewards creativity in people-centred design across all disciplines. Nominated projects on display at the annual RCA Graduation Shows.
Awards are given in each of the Helen Hamlyn Centre's three main research themes - inclusive design, workplace design and design for patient safety. There is also a special overall prize given personally by Helen Hamlyn.
Entrants are nominated by Royal College of Art professors and heads of department.
Judging this year took place on Friday 26 June 2009 and the Awards presentation was held in the Senior Common Room at the RCA at 4.30pm on Tuesday 30 June 2009, as the opening event of the College's Innovation Night.
