2025 Radical Innovation Awards

Through an annual competition, the Radical Innovation Award mobilizes innovators from around the world with the ideas to propel the industry forward. We create a platform for development and design visionaries to come together around innovations for the hotel and tourism industries.

We bridge the gap between dreamers and doers, fostering unique intersections of creative thought and business expertise. How do we do it? Through an international network of talent scouts and a call for entries. We discover these concepts and bring them to a global stage, nurturing the ideas, making introductions, award prizes and aiming to bring the concepts to fruition.

The Radical Innovation Award Student Project winner will receive $5,000 and the opportunity to apply for an Assistantship and full Scholarship from our University Partners.

The Radical Innovation Award Student Product winners will receive $2,500, and the opportunity to attend The Makerspace at Black Fire Innovation.

The Radical Innovation Award University Partners offer the following opportunities to the Student Project Winners:

• The University of Las Vegas Nevada (UNLV) offers the student design winner the opportunity to apply for an assistantship to their Masters of Architecture program.
