Be inspired by 10 graphic designers and illustrators who scooped an A' Design Award

Deemed as the world's leading international juried competition for design, the annual event is now inviting you to submit your work, with the chance to raise your profile across the globe and reach an astonishing two and a half million people worldwide.

If this has never been on your radar before, then allow us to tell you more about it. The A' Design Awards offers an excellent marketing opportunity, and there are lots of great prizes up for grabs, too.

These include a special certificate in a metal frame for your office wall, an invitation to the exclusive gala-night in Italy, exhibition of your projects (both online and offline), a hardcover yearbook publication, a special 3D printed metal award trophy, translation of your project into more than 20 languages to reach international audiences, the freedom to use a special winner logo in your self-promotion, inclusion in the World Design Rankings, as well as access to further marketing and PR tools.

Even better, you'll get publicity for your work and your practice, via thousands of blogs and magazines (including this one) across the world.

The A' Design Awards are given out across a wide range of categories including Good Spatial Design (Architecture, Interior Design, Urban Design and Landscape Design), Good Industrial Design (Product Design, Appliance Design, Vehicle Design and Machinery Design), Good Communication Design (Graphics Design, Interaction Design and Marketing Design), Good Fashion Design (Garment Design, Fashion Accessory Design and Footwear Design), Good System Design (Service Design, Design Strategy, Quality & Innovation) as well as for Achievements in Arts & Literature.
