Dezeen promotion: the Radical Innovation Award is inviting designers, architects, hoteliers and students to submit innovative concepts that "push the boundaries" of travel and hospitality.
Organised by hospitality developer The John Hardy Group, the annual award celebrates big ideas for hotel accommodation in any country, and accepts entries from both professionals and students.

"Radical Innovation discovers and spotlights creative geniuses with the drive to create entirely new segments of the hospitality industry," said John Hardy, Radical Innovation founder and CEO The John Hardy Group.
"We connect them with experienced business leaders that have the connections and resources to bring those ideas to life, all while supporting their effort through year-round marketing and PR verticals." Steve Lee's design for an autonomous mobile hotel was the winner of last year's competition
Entries must be submitted by 3 April 2019, with the finalists selected through a blind judging process by a jury of industry experts within the fields of hospitality, design, and investment.
All entries will be evaluated based on their originality, creativity, design, feasibility, and quality of presentation.
