Words: Steph Wade

Submissions for the 2019 A’ Design Award are currently open. If you are working in a creative field and are interested in a little bit of artistic triumph, now is the time to enter.

The annual competition celebrates creativity across industries globally — highlighting the best designers, architects and design-oriented companies worldwide. The award was established to spotlight innovative and beautiful design. It features over 100 categories and entrants from over 200 countries, including categories such as architecture design, advertising, marketing and communication design, photography design, graphics and visual communication design, interior space and exhibition design and packaging design, to name a few. You can view the full list here.

Winning pieces will be showcased in an international exhibition and will receive valuable feedback from the expert jury. Additionally, winners receive an award trophy, a framed design excellence certificate, an invitation to the gala evening and will be included in several publications. There is also the opportunity for winners to sell their pieces as well as to be included in the World Design Rankings. To learn more about what winners can receive as benefits, take a look at the Winner’s Pack to see what could be waiting for you.

You can still submit your work until September 30 2018. The winners will be announced on the 15th of April, 2019, and the results will be published on iGNANT. You can also upload your projects for a complimentary preliminary score before you submit them. Entries are judged by an international panel of scholars, industry professionals, and media members: unlike other awards, the A’Design Awards follow a peer-review process, with anonymous voting and evaluation of entries.
