New Era Design Competition

Although I am usually wary of design competitions (for small organizations and businesses), I think for large corporations it's a great way to catapult unknown designers into recognition. If you look at New Era's design competition you can also see it can expand the company's creativity. New Era asked 90 graduates from the most prestigious design schools in Europe to create a unique version of the New Era 59fifty fitted hat. The winner is awarded 10,000 euro to launch his/her career. Take a look at some of the interesting designs students have submitted.
