The Shape the Future Design Competition, co-presented by Metropolis and DuPont Corian, seeks proposals that show how students and professionals in the design community would transform the familiar 20th century material into 21st century, tech-age environments, surfaces, spaces, structures, art, furniture, and objects that address a design challenge or enliven such building segments as Healthcare, Workplace, Education, Retail, Residential, Hotels, Restaurants, Transportation, Institutional, and Cultural.

Forward-thinkers who are able to move beyond the material’s time-tested associations will earn a $10,000 prize purse – $7,000 for the winner and $1,500 each for two runners-up – as well as international publicity via Metropolis, metropolismag.com, corian.com, their respective social media channels and possible exhibitions at one or more of the DuPont Corian Design Studios.

Submission Deadline is August 1, 2014 at 11:59PM EDT.
