How many design concepts can I enter?

You may enter as many design concepts as you wish.

What is the "date of creation" for?

It refers to the date on which the design concept is first created. This is important in the event of an intellectual property dispute.

Can I make changes after saving my entry?

You can make changes after saving your entry. However, after submitting your entry, you will not be able to make amendments.

Is it possible to submit a series of works?

You can group a series of design concepts and submit it as one entry if they are based upon a common concept. Otherwise, they have to be submitted as separate entries.

What language can I use to present my design concept?

The digital presentation boards must be submitted in English only.

Do you have a template/sample showing how can I present my design concept?

We do not have templates determining how you should present your entry. There are format guidelines as to what information you should include in the presentation. You can find the format requirements here.

Do I need to mail my design concept to your office?

No. The entry(s) you have uploaded will be printed for final judging.

Can I change my project type after I submitted my work?

If you are at the “prepare your entry” stage, you can still amend your entry information. If you have already submitted the entry, no changes can be made.

Prototypes, mock-ups, and videos are additional materials and optional. You may send them in if you think they will help the jury better understand your design concept.

All prototypes sent will be subject to an administrative fee, this does not include shipping. The size and weight of the prototype determine the administrative fees, please refer to ‘Fees - Submission of Prototype’ for detailed information.

Please refer to “Delivery & collection” for the dates to arrange your collection.

Due to the fragility and one-off nature of prototypes, and mock-ups, please make your decision to send the prototypes/mock-ups carefully. Red Dot Singapore will not be liable for any damage incurred during judging, storage, and/or exhibition of the prototype/mock-up.
