Disney ImagiNations

The Disney ImagiNations contest is expected to announce their entry dates soon.

What is it?
If you have a passion for creative and innovative design, here's an opportunity to work with one of the most creative organizations in family entertainment. Created and sponsored by Walt Disney Imagineering, the ImagiNations Design Competition offers opportunities for diverse students to showcase their talents. You can win a 10-day all-expense-paid trip to present your project to a panel of Walt Disney Imagineering executives and have the opportunity to compete for the "Best in Show" awards. This incredible opportunity will provide participants with insight into Disney's creative process, and learn what it takes to succeed in an innovative organization. Additionally, all qualified applicants will be considered for Internship opportunities with Walt Disney Imagineering.

Imagineers are challenged to build on the Disney legacy of great storytelling to pioneer new forms of entertainment through technical innovation and creativity. The ImagiNations competition encourages you to do the same! Past winners of the competition have gone on to serve internships at Imagineering and some have become full-time Imagineers.

Show them your creativity by using your technical, artistic, or writing skills to design a ride, attraction, hotel, or a land within an existing Disney theme park or resort. Or create an entirely new experience, a theme park, themed restaurant or unique dream of your own. Original ideas may be presented in many ways, such as:
Artwork/Illustrations/Visuals
Storyboards
Models
Building Design (floor plans or elevations)
Developed Story Treatment- Model
Video/Multi-Media
Schematics/CAD Drawings
Computer Graphics
Your concept should demonstrate fun, originality and innovation. Keep in mind that Disney is the leader in family entertainment, and that Imagineering tells stories through immersive experiences; therefore, your entry should tell a compelling and engaging story. You may create your own characters or use our existing characters for your entry.
