IN:SENSE Design Award 2027

The IN:SENSE Design Award, organized by the International Sensory Design Association, is the flagship competition of the IN:SENSE platform. Under the theme “Design Beyond Sight”, the 2027 edition welcomes entries across four categories – Object & Sensation, Space & Environment, Interaction & AI, and Art & Research. Eligible participants include undergraduate and graduate students, emerging designers, artists, architects, researchers and professionals worldwide; both individual and team submissions are accepted. Projects may be commercial products, academic projects, prototypes, or research‑driven works, provided they centre on multisensory experience. The competition runs from early‑bird submission (28 Sep 2026 – 15 Nov 2026) to the regular deadline on 31 Jan 2027. Entry fees are USD 20 for students (regular) and USD 45 for general entrants (regular).
