About Lexus Design Award 2019
Lexus created the Lexus Design Award, an international design competition that targets up-and-coming creators from around the world. The award seeks to foster the growth of ideas that contribute to society by supporting designers and creators whose works can help to shape a better future. It provides a unique opportunity for six finalists to work with globally recognized designers as mentors to create prototypes of their designs, and then exhibit them at one of the design year's most important events.
Judging Criteria

2. Innovate: Does the design demonstrate new thinking and originality in its proposal and execution?
3. Captivate: Is the design intriguing and compelling when realized in concept and execution?
