“What is in it for me?” A logical question that most designers and design companies ask me when I talk about participating in design competitions. The reason why it’s a big deal to be noticed asap is the kind of lightening speed with which information travels these days. Keeping with the times is A’ Design Awards and in their 2015 edition they elaborate the extensive benefits of participating – fame, prestige, recognition, credibility, publicity and international awareness, being the keywords here.
The primary aim of the A’ Design Award & Competition is to create a global awareness and understanding for good design practices and principles by highlighting best designs in all countries and in all industrial fields. The ultimate aim of the A’ Design Awards is to push designers and brands worldwide to create superior products and projects that benefit the society. Every year, projects that focus on innovation, technology, design and creativity are awarded and pushed into the spotlight.
