1st Industrial Design Competition on Ergonomics and Aesthetics

Alanya University Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Department of Industrial Design, invites submissions to ErgoAesthetics 2027 — the 1st Student Industrial Design Competition on Ergonomics and Aesthetics, held under the motto “Enhancing Well-Being Through Industrial Design.” The international competition encourages original designs of objects, products, and tools that integrate ergonomic performance with aesthetic quality. It aims to support students’ development in creative problem-solving, user research, interdisciplinary collaboration, design presentation, and professional ethics, while promoting design approaches that demonstrate social and environmental responsibility.
Participation is entirely free of charge, with no hidden fees. The competition is open to students currently enrolled in Industrial Design, Architecture, Urban Design or Urban Planning, and Interior Architecture programmes worldwide, as well as graduates who completed their studies within the past two years. Participants may apply individually or in teams of up to four members; academic staff may be identified separately as advisors. Conceptual designs, prototypes, and manufactured objects intended for use by humans or non-human living beings are eligible for submission. Projects will be evaluated by a jury in accordance with the published assessment criteria and ethical guidelines, using an anonymised review process that conceals participants’ identities.
The submission deadline is 30 April 2027. Each application must include a completed official Word application form containing an English project description of no more than 200 words, along with a single-page A3 landscape PDF presentation board prepared using one of the official templates. The PDF file must not exceed 15 MB. Results will be announced on 31 May 2027. Digital certificates of achievement will be awarded to the first-, second-, and third-place projects, while 20 projects will receive finalist recognition.
