Last chance to enter Dezeen and Bentley's Future Luxury Retail Design Competition

Dezeen and Bentley's Future Luxury Retail Design Competition closes for entries at midnight on Friday. 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 around the world, invites architects and designers to define the future of luxury retail.

Contestants are to propose innovative ideas for both digital and physical luxury retail experiences in 2030 and beyond, in and out of the automotive world.

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

Entrants are free to design any retail experience in the world of contemporary luxury lifestyle, whether it be real-world, digital, or a combination of both.

Designs must refer to Bentley's rich heritage of expert craftsmanship and technological innovation. Judges will be looking for ideas that provide a bespoke and personalised experience for customers.

£30,000 prize money up for grabs

Competition entries will be judged by a jury comprising architects, designers and experts who specialise in retail, along with a Dezeen editor and representative at Bentley, who will select the finalists and determine the overall winner.

A shortlist will be published on Dezeen in August 2023, 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.
