Rocket 2023 was held Saturday, May 27th at the University of St. Michael’s College in the University of Toronto

Finalists and Winners

Each year the Association of Chartered Industrial Designers of Ontario (ACIDO) hosts “Rocket” – a competition for Ontario’s graduating industrial designers. Graduates nominated at the top of their class from Carleton University, Humber College, OCAD University, and Sheridan College have the opportunity to pitch their final year thesis projects to a jury of select industry professionals with the top winners announced at the Rocket Awards Ceremony.

This year we are moving the competition online so we can continue to provide Ontario’s top graduates with the means to display their final year thesis projects and have a chance to win awards and prizes.
