Wege Prize 2022

Open to undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate students worldwide, Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University (KCAD) has expanded its international design competition, Wege Prize 2022, a global design competition that speaks to students' motivation to rethink the way we produce and consume, to redesign the way economies work, and to build a better future.

Throughout this multi-phase competition, collaborative student teams work across disciplines to develop solutions to a complex, "wicked" problem of their choosing that can help power the transition from a linear economic model to a circular economic model.

Teams compete for $65K USD in total cash prizes while engaging in a valuable learning experience guided by multiple feedback loops with jurors who are experts in the circular economy, sustainable development, design thinking, materials science, user experience design, biomimicry, and more.
