ET Foundation, Bonnell Aluminum invite entries for 2016 Aluminum Extrusion

The ET Foundation, the educational and research organization devoted to promoting and advancing aluminum extrusion processes and technologies, and Bonnell Aluminum are inviting entries for the 2016 International Aluminum Extrusion Design Competition. The 2016 competition is divided into two classes: professional and student.

Bonnell Aluminum is the sole sponsor for the cash awards, totaling $20,000, including a grand prize of $3,500 awarded to the best design across all categories and classes. New to this year’s competition is the Bonnell Aluminum LED Lighting Design Challenge, a student design category that encourages students to think about aluminum extrusions as a holistic solution to a design problem.

Professional designers, engineers, and manufacturers, along with students studying design and engineering at universities, colleges, technical schools, and high schools around the world, are invited to participate. Entries will be accepted through March 7, 2016. Entry in the competition is free, and judging will take place following the entry deadline.
