In years, many competitions have been organized in Turkey since they are one of the most suitable ways to create a field of exploration for the stakeholders. Some of the competitions are long-lived, and some of them could not become traditional. İMMİB Industrial Design Competitions are one of the major ones. In this study, the significance of İMMİB Industrial Design Competitions will be revealed. The changes and the developments of the competition will be examined. Whether the main aim of the competitions as bringing together designers and industrialists is achieved or not will be discussed. The objective of this study is to find out and reveal the role and the importance of İMMİB Industrial Design Competitions in Turkey together with the impact of the competition to the participants. Moreover, the effects of participation in the competition on industrial design education together with the effects of industrial design education on the competition will be examined.
