A’ Design Awards & Competition 2016: The time to enter is NOW!
This sponsored post is brought to you by A’ Design Award and Competition. Yes, we’re on the closing countdown for A’ Design Award & Competition registration for 2016
Designers, architects, engineers, design studios, and product brands are literally putting their work before the eyes of the design world and the judges. The competition is open to all design disciplines and levels of experience, and to projects in the concept, prototype and production phases.
We’ve said it before, and here it is again: A’ Awards is a uniquely research-driven program, the A’ Awards was originally developed as part of a PhD project, based on analysis of 800 design competitions. The focus is a high-impact worldwide showcase for the winners, followed up with practical, real-world support, including an in-depth promotional campaign and a full menu of business services for designers, all at no extra charge beyond the entry fee.
An extensive range of 100 A’ Awards Categories is a unique designer-friendly feature that lets you position your entry in one or more tightly focused design areas. Some of the most popular categories include: Furniture, Decorative Items and Homeware; Interior Space and Exhibition Design; Packaging; Architecture, Building and Structure; Graphics and Visual Communication; Digital and Electronic Devices; Lighting Products and Lighting Projects.
Entries to the A’ Design Award & Competition are peer-reviewed and anonymously voted by an expert 70-member jury panel consisting of scholars, design professionals and media experts, following strict evaluation guidelines. (You can check out the fascinating judging methodology and meet the jury.)
