Fashioning the Future Awards 2011 seeks the unique. We are calling for talent that is radically distinctive in its exploration and expression of the complex dimensions of design for future living. We are looking for new ways of doing things, grounded in new thinking, and we reward informed experimental applications that offer possibility for the prosperity of all.

This year, 5 awards categories have been created around the theme of ‘Unique’ including awards in Design, Enterprise, Communication, Balance and, Materials and Processes.
