LG ‘Design the Future’ competition calls for entries

With LG’s “Design the Future” competition, designers will get a chance to define the future of mobile communication. LG Mobile Phones is partnering with crowdSPRING (an online marketplace for creative services) and Autodesk (a leader in 2D and 3D design and engineering software) to hold a new competition to define the future of personal mobile communication. Only U.S. residents aged 18 and above have a chance to design their vision of the next revolutionary LG mobile phone and compete for more than $80,000 in awards. Autodesk will supply participating designers with a free 15-day trial of SketchBook Pro. A paint and drawing application for use on the Mac or PC, it offers an intuitive, streamlined user interface so even new users can be productive within minutes.
