Dongguan City, a Chinese 'burg of 1.6 million people just a ferry ride away from Hong Kong, is the third largest exporting region in China (1. Shanghai, 2. Shenzhen). They're also actively seeking foreign direct investment, which is perhaps why they're holding the Dongguan Cup for Industrial Design, seeking "excellent entries from individual industrial designers."

Although anyone around the world can enter, the competition is only open to individuals, not teams, which is rather odd for China. Prize money is 30,000 RMB (about four grand US) for first place, going down by 1/3rd for second and third place. The deadline is July 15th, and full details are up here.
