Tell a story – Bring your design to life by clearly explaining why the project was taken on in the first place – what is its purpose and why it’s a better solution/product than other designs.

Keep it short – Tell a concise story. It is a challenge to condense all the thinking behind your design project, so focus on the key points that are most thought provoking and insightful to your unique approach.

Know your competition – If there are similar products in the market (or possibly the competition) address how yours is different in the experience of, or the benefits to, the end user.

Make it visual – In your supporting PDF document, be sure to include as many unique product images as possible; different angles, examples of the product’s use and anything that will help the jurors experience the product during the initial online judging round.

The so-called “Red Dot Young Professionals Application Day” is round the bend and if you think you are ready to be the “king (or queen) of the world”, then earmark the 11th of December 2013.

Bernhard Elsaesser goes down in the Hall of Fame for being the second young professional in the history of the Red Dot to win the highest award in the competition: Red Dot: Best of the Best for the vase “The attitude of the definite – the square”. Sounds exciting!

To sum it up, you not only get a free entry, but also the chance of winning the highest honor!
