2011 Innovation Award Design Concept
The concept design for the 2011 Cardiff University Innovation Prize and Award trophy centres around the idea of mapping the geographic dispersion of the winning collaborations since the competition was set up in 2001. Each plate relates to one of the 11 years the Awards have been established. Positioned onto each plate are the locations of all contributors, at either nationwide, Europe wide or global scales. The geographic location of Cardiff University is at the centre of all the plates. The overall effect once the plates are assembled is of a 3 dimensional critical mass of innovation centred on Cardiff – demonstrating local and global impact.
