The James Dyson Award for 2014 has officially begun accepting submissions as of today - with the winning designers picking up £10,000 in prize money to further develop their project.
Bringing together the world's brightest young engineers, the challenge of the award remains to design a new product that solves a particular problem.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the award which, in recent years, has discovered and supported inventors with ideas such as an upper-body robotic arm and a more efficent device to harness wave power.
“Young design engineers have the ability to develop tangible technologies, which can change lives," said James Dyson.
"The award rewards those who have the persistence and tenacity to develop their ideas – it is an exciting but challenging process. Often the simplest ideas have the biggest impact,” he said.
The award is run in eighteen countries and is open to any university level student of product design, industrial design or engineering. Entrants have until August 1st to submit prototypes along with stories detailing their design process and inspiration.
