Dezeen and Bentley's Start Something Powerful Design Competition closes for entries at midnight on Wednesday. Enter before the deadline for the chance to win up to £15,000.

The competition, which is free to enter for anyone over the age of 18 in any country, invites architects and designers to reimagine the way future generations live.

Contestants are to propose ideas that could be harnessed over the next century to have a significant positive impact on people's health and wellbeing, as well as on the natural environment, to empower people to live fulfilling lives for years to come.

Full details of how to enter the contest are included in the competition brief and rules.

Contest seeks forward-looking concepts that could have transformative effects on people's lives

Entrants are free to design architectural or urban design concepts, product or material innovations, novel mobility or wellness solutions, or anything else that transforms people's way of living.

Designs must refer to Bentley's rich heritage of expert craftsmanship and technological innovation. Judges will be looking for ideas that empower people to live fulfilling lives.

Competition entries will be judged by a panel of designers and journalists from Bentley and Dezeen, who will select the finalists and determine the overall winner.

A shortlist will be published on Dezeen in September 2024, with the finalists and winners revealed later in the month.

The winner will receive a top prize of £15,000, while the runner-up will receive £10,000 and the third-placed entrant will receive £5,000.

How to enter

Entrants must produce visualisations depicting their concepts, along with supporting text to describe their idea explaining how it meets the brief.
