What: The Home Review DesignMile contest, visit www.designmile.in, submissions free.

Why: Because if you’re crafty enough, this home design contest could score you a fully paid trip to the Maison & Objet exhibit in Paris, followed by a tour of the German Red Dot Museum. Ten other winners get to showcase their product designs at a swish club/restaurant/store for one week in Mumbai. Sketch!

When: Online submissions close on October 17, DesignMile Week begins November 6.
