The LeNS Student Design Competition opens in 2009 and is targeted to all design schools worldwide.

Entries of students from courses in design schools are accepted from May 2009. The competition is open for student entries (SPSS) created during courses that are held in the competition period and that are enrolled to the competition by their teacher (see “Competition Announcement” below). The competition closes in June 2010, and courses during the spring term 2010 are accepted if they end before the end of May.
