Women in Industrial Design Show

Call for Entries

This is a call for entries for the first Women in Industrial Design Show sponsored by WID of IDSA during San Francisco Design Week (June 13-21). Works selected for the show will exemplify WID mission and commitment to supporting women in industrial design and promoting design excellence.

For one night only, the show will feature 15 designers in two categories — Up+Coming and Professionals. The Work can be conceptual, in full production, or anything in between. WID’s hope is to showcase a wide scope of industrial design work by women in various stages of their careers. Ladies, you know you rock. This is a great opportunity to showcase your work and meet your peers during the excitement of SF Design Week. Own it. Apply now!
