The Design For Asia (“DFA”) Student Award recognises the most innovative and creative design students across the Asia region. From the far reaches of China to the jungles of Malaysia, Asia is a cultural gold-mine. There remains a plethora of untapped talent across the Asia region and the DFA Student Awards aims to reward and give coverage to the new generation of talent who lead the way in Asian design. Now in its third year, 2012’s DFA Student Award coincides with Hong Kong Design Year 2012, a year-long celebration of Hong Kong as a creative city.
