Designquest can take you places

An exclusive design competition presented by Home Review

The Home Review Designquest is a unique programme initiated to offer a truly ‘once in a lifetime’ experience to a young architect or design professional.

Open to design enthusiast under the age of 35 years, the Home Review Designquest presented by Hansgrohe, provides a platform to interact with some of the world’s biggest names in interiors and architecture, participate in discussion forums, experience a variety of installations and exhibits, view the unveiling of the latest collections from some of the world’s leading product manufacturers – and do all of this in Milan, Italy.

To register for this programme you first have to build your profile online, and get friends, family and people who are visiting the site to vote for you. This is the first phase of the activity, and if you are among the contestants with the top 50 votes, you progress to the next round, which is offline.

The second round involves interactions with the Home Review editorial team. Here participants will be interviewed and also be required to author a blog entitled “Why I should be at Milan”. The selected 15 finalists will progress to the last round of the event which will take place in Mumbai. This round will be decided by a panel of eminent judges from the design domain who will select the 5 winners who will get an all expenses paid trip to Milan.

The prizes range from a 3 month free subscription to Home Review magazine for every registrant (with a minimum of 10 votes), to the grand prize of an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for 5 winners to attend Saloni, at Milan, in April 2010. Apart from getting an all expenses paid trip to this international design festival, the 5 winners will also get to travel in a private jet from Milan to Germany, to visit the stunning facility of Hansgrohe, a leading brand in the international sanitation industry and the title sponsor of the Home Review Designquest
