Global design competition
At Prospect 100, we are creating opportunities for young people everywhere to grow and flourish. We established our first competition during the COVID-19 pandemic to create a community of the world's most talented young people, despite global lockdowns. Our competitions are free to enter, and are open to those aged 25 or younger, anywhere in the world.
2020’s Global Design Competition boasted an amazing judging panel, with the overall winner receiving mentorship from sneaker legend Jeff Staple who notably heads up Staple Design, Staple Design and created the Nike Dunk SB Low Staple NYC Pigeon which resold at auction for $25,200 at Sotheby’s. Pensole Design Academy offered mentorship to finalists. Magazines like VOGUE, Highsnobiety, WWD and DAZED all picked up on the competition with the outlets profiling the finalists in articles published digitally with WWD also covering the story in print. Other judges, including Sean Wotherspoon and Steven Smith, also hosted live interviews with Prospect 100 to offer guidance and insights to all participants. All participants were also offered free software by Serif for their Affinity line to help them grow as creatives. GUESS also provided an internship to one of our Top 20 participants having been so impressed with their work when they saw it.
"Competitions like this are so important for young people because it’s hard starting off in creative fields… especially during a global pandemic. I was the lucky winner of the Prospect 100 Global Sneaker Competition, and was rewarded with a 6 month mentorship with Jeff Staple. The mentorship has just started for me, and I already know that this learning experience from one of the industry giants is going to take my passion to the next level. The prize is amazing, but the competition itself and the different stages of judging really gave me a boost of confidence and sometimes that’s just what young creatives needs. Someone or something to tell them that the stuff they are doing is being recognised."
