Core77

Can you design while people look over your shoulder?

It's not exactly a Core one-hour design competition, but shipbuilding exhibition Seatec's "Abitare la barca" comp in Italy is somewhat similar, with a little twist: following a briefing on February 7th, ID, Architecture and Naval Engineering students (chosen from various Italian design schools) will have roughly 24 hours to design a 50-foot boat, and the twist is they're doing it all on stage.

By noon on February 8th their designs will be judged, and by 2pm the winner will take the stage, though after spending 24 hours designing on it they'll probably prefer to deliver their acceptance speech from a comfy chair in the audience.
