BraunPrizeBlog

Time passed so quickly ever since the first jury session back in March this year. Nevertheless I’m more than excited that I will meet the BraunPrize Jury again next week for the second and last ‘closed’ round of judging the final 68 entries from 17 nations.

In contrast to the last jury session which focused more on identifying the most promising ideas/concepts/designs from a total of 941 submissions this time the jury will be able to experience some sort of ‘look & feel’. All second stage finalists have been asked to send in their models/mockups/prototypes which will be displayed at the Kronberg town hall.

As last time Braun will install a web cam which lets you track what’s going on in real time at the jury session. For sure I’ll let you know when the web cam is online. Maybe I’ll also have the chance to make some photo shots (from a distance) of some of the models. I’ll check this out.

In any case I will also try to get Peter Schneider, Chairman of the BraunPrize Jury and Udo Milutzki, Vice President of Gillette/Braun engineering in front of my camera and conduct short interviews with them. Hopefully the other members of the jury will also join me for another short statement on their impressions as well.

Sooo … stay tuned for the second jury meeting taking place from June 11–13th, 2007. I will join the jury on late Tuesday evening and will spend the whole Wednesday with them. Realtime blogging guaranteed!
