The jury will be headed by Shigeru Ban, the Pritzker laureate, who became famous for his buildings made of non-trivial materials: fabric, paper and bamboo. The jury also included MoMA curator Paola Antonelli and designboom chief editor Birgit Lohmann.

As prizes of the competition, grants were announced for the implementation of the design concept of nominees ($ 25,000 each) and the opportunity to choose a tutor, under whose authority you can refine the idea. The architects So Fujimoto, Andrea Trimarki and Simone Farresin, the founders of the Studio Formafantasma design bureau, the lighting design wunderkind Lindsay Adelman and Jessica Walsh, one of the most creative young designers of modern times, according to Forbes magazine, will become tutors.

Competition results will be announced at the Milan Design Week in April.
