Abstract
THE Royal Society of Arts has recently issued its report on the competition for industrial designs in 1933. For the six sections into which the competition was divided architectural decoration, textiles, furniture, book production, advertising and commercial art and miscellaneous 2,623 designs were submitted by 1,131 competitors, of whom 724 were students of schools of art, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa being all represented. The report gives full details of the awards and much information about the prizes. Altogether a sum of £1,614 15s. Od. was offered by the Society, the City Companies and various industrial firms, and since the competitions were started about ten years ago, the Society has expended about £5,000 on them. Unfortunately, for financial reasons the Council now finds it impossible to carry on the competitions, so none will be held in 1934. This is much to be regretted, for the competitions have proved of great educational value, and have proved that there is no lack of creative talent among the younger generation.
