Radical Innovation, an annual competition that calls for the best and brightest innovative concept ideas in the hospitality sphere, announces the opening of its 2018 edition.
Both professionals and students alike are encouraged to submit their concepts online. In addition to a clear and compelling brief, all entries should be accompanied by a professional quality presentation including design renderings illustrating how the concept could be achieved in the next 3-5 years.
A panel of jurors leading the fields of hospitality, design, and investment, will then evaluate the entries based on their originality, creativity, design, and potential impact on the industry.
Finalists will compete in a live event in New York City, where they will present their ideas. Audience members determine the grand-prize winner, who takes home a $10,000 prize. The runner-up receives a $5,000 prize.
The student winner, who is determined prior to the event by the jury, will earn a $1,500 prize and be offered a graduate assistantship in the Masters of Architecture program at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. The total two-year value is estimated at over $50,000. The awarding of funds will be based on certain prerequisites that must be carried out by the potential recipient.
