If you follow our blog you’ll already know that the Bemz Design Award is a new competition for students from major design schools across Europe to encourage their future design careers, as well as inspire upcoming generations of designers.
Last week we took a look at the judging panels responsible for picking the winners of the Bemz Design Award 2014. And this week we're introducing the 16 participating design schools across Europe.
Students from ENSAAMA-Olivier de Serres
All in all, four top design schools from France, Germany, Sweden and the UK will submit entries to the competition. For most of these countries, the Bemz Design Award is the first European contest open to the textile designers of tomorrow.

And the overall winner will have three of his or her designs developed.
