The POPAI (Point of Sale/Retail Design) Student Design Awards
Our students Marta Manzano Brogeras, George Cooper, Carl Harrisson, and Jakob Timerdahl have been selected as finalists for the Student Design Awards at POPAI 2023.
There are only five finalists, meaning four out of five total are from Ravensbourne – an incredible achievement. The finalists will now pitch their designs at a Dragon’s Den style event to decide the overall winner.
In addition, Jack Charles-Doran, Bego Pinon-Lopez, and Aresh Rabanantha were shortlisted for the award.
The POPAI awards are the UK's premier student awards for creative retail design. Students create storefront and pop-up stores for various retailers.
