LG 2010 Competition For The Best Design Of The Future Mobile Phone

What we're looking for

Predict what’s next. What do you think the next generation of mobile phones should work or look like for the U.S. market in the next 2 to 3 years? We are asking for your help. We’re NOT looking for a long list of specs or phone ideas that already exist. We’re looking for a cool new concept or “big idea” supported by usage scenario and user experience illustrations.

We’re allowing only ONE page per submission (1024 x 3072 pixels). Within this page you will need to visualize your concept phone as well as any relevant usage scenarios that help to explain the benefits of your idea. We strongly recommend using this template as a starting point. Please make sure that thetext is visible (12 pt. font or higher) and the images are large to make it easy for the judges to review.

Keep in mind, the LG logo must be included somewhere on the phone. Use the logo files provided (one is for light background and one is for dark).

Judging criteria:

Creativity / Originality (40% weight): Is the idea / design unique? Does the concept convey WOW or game-changing characteristics? 
Need Fulfillment (30% weight): How well does the phone address general consumer needs / frustrations? 
Feasibility (30% weight): Can this idea / product be realistically implemented with current or near-future technology (within the next 2 to 3 years)?

Things to avoid doing:

Innovating without any meaningful preparation, context, or inspiration typically leads to irrelevant “ideas in a vacuum”. To help you be as innovative as possible, we’ve provided you with “4 Tips for Success”. Read over these words of wisdom, and you’ll definitely be steps ahead of the competition!
