If you have a passion for creative and innovative design, here’s an
opportunity to work with one of the most creative organizations in family
entertainment. Created and sponsored by Walt Disney Imagineering, the
ImagiNations Design Competition offers opportunities for diverse students to
showcase their talents. You can win a 10-day all expense paid trip to
present your project to a panel of Walt Disney Imagineering Executives, and
have the opportunity to compete for the “Best in Show” awards. This
incredible opportunity will provide participants with insight into Disney’s
creative process, and learn what it takes to succeed n an innovative
organization. Additionally, all qualified applicants will be considered for
internship opportunities with Walt Disney Imagineering.
Show us your creativity by using your technical, artistic, or writing skills
to design a ride, attraction, hotel, or perhaps a land within an existing
Disney theme park or resort. Or create an entirely new experience; a theme
park, resort, themed restaurant, or something completely unique!
Showcase your talents, earn internship or associate opportunities, and gain
practical knowledge in design, engineering, architecture and related
disciplines!

innovative ideas into the "dreaming and doing" at Walt Disney Imagineering.
