The ‘New Designers Joules Award’ will be given to a 2017 graduate who demonstrates an understanding of colour and print. The recipient will be selected by a panel of judges including Chloe Ward, Laura Douglas, Lucy Lawrence, Jo Roberts and Kristina Cartwright, and will be awarded a £500 cash prize, as well as a two week paid work placement at the retailer which will include a commercial portfolio review with the brand’s senior design team.

The winner will also have the chance to design a mural at Joules’ Wells Beach pop up store.

New Designers, now in its 32nd edition, brings together design education, design consumers and the design industry to celebrate the next generation of designers. Each year, the exhibition showcases work from 3,000 of the most promising graduate talents.

“We’re delighted to be sponsoring an award for the exhibition. Over the years the exhibition has proved pivotal in helping us to find brilliant up and coming designers that have gone on to work with us for many years, so it’s great to give something back,” said Laura Douglas, head of concept at Joules.

“We’re all about colour and print, so that’s what we are looking for. Our print studio is constantly abuzz with creativity and is a place where the search for inspiration never stops. It provides a relaxed, fun atmosphere for talented individuals to produce their very best work. We can’t wait to welcome our winner to the team for a couple of weeks.”

New Designers will take place in two parts: the first one, featuring Textiles, Fashion and Costume Design will start on 28 June until 1 July. The second instalment will take place on 5-8 July and focus on Furniture, Product, Industrial & Spatial Design.
