A multi-phase virtual design competition built to discover, develop, and deploy the next generation of designers, builders, and system thinkers. Selected creators design fully integrated NUMA Wings — real environments spanning beauty, wellness, trade, culinary, and beyond.
NUMA is a next-generation luxury learning village — a destination where creators, builders, and entrepreneurs across disciplines converge into one immersive ecosystem. Each area is called a Wing: a unique environment where visitors experience a new field, craft, or discipline.
Selected teams move through structured phases — design, prototyping, and real-world application. Top creators earn the opportunity to contribute to NUMA spaces, systems, and experiences globally.
Apply to compete. Paired with another creator across disciplines to design, develop, and present a NUMA Wing across 8 structured episodes.
Guide a team. Experienced professionals who mentor creators through the design process, contributing real-world expertise to elevate each Wing concept.
Evaluate and decide. World-class experts who review team work, provide critique at milestone sessions, and determine Season 01 award recipients.
NUMA exists to create a world where creativity, education, and environment are fully integrated. We're building the infrastructure that emerging creators have never had access to — structured opportunity, elite guidance, and real-world execution.
This is not a concept competition. Selected teams move through structured phases and their work enters the official NUMA Design Archive. Top creators earn the opportunity to contribute to NUMA spaces, systems, and experiences globally.
We are curating a panel of three world-class experts across design, architecture, and innovation. Judge identities will be revealed at the Season 01 launch on April 1.
