International and Independent Category Winners 2020
This week the Design Ventura team celebrated the top three shortlisted schools in the International and Independent Category. Each school submitted a 3 minute video pitch, which was reviewed by this year’s judging panel to choose a winner.
The top three schools were then invited to a prize day at the Design Museum on Tuesday 6 July. The students enjoyed access to the Design Museum exhibitions, Sneakers Unboxed and Charlotte Perriand, followed by lunch and an award ceremony.
