“M.Y.D.A. - Millennium Yacht Design Award”, the international competition for yacht designers, is in its 8th year. The event, promoted and organized by carrarafiere at Seatec, the 9th international exhibition of technologies, subcontracting and design for boats, megayachts and ships, has become a prominent event attended by the most important design and engineering firms.
M.Y.D.A. Award 2011 is divided into two categories:
1. “ESTABLISHED PROFESSIONALS” professional designers that have already designed and built at least one boat.
2. “YOUNG DESIGNERS” young professionals that have not yet built any boat.
Both categories can enter both sections:

Projects substantially completed, not yet built SECTION B, Dream Boats: One-off projects, outside the realms of what is currently accepted - complete freedom of expression - a personal conceptual and formal invention.
