It’s that time of the year again, applications for A’ Design Awards are open, so if you plan on getting more exposure and maybe awards, you should register here.
A’ Design Awards is a major international event for the world of design. The competition, which takes place every year in the wonderful city of Como, Italy, aims to attract the attention of the medias and designers world-wide. The competition takes great designers and promotes them both online and offline. It provides a fair and ethical platform for all designers and studios.
If you are not familiar with the awards, you may want to check out the categories of the competition. Here are my personal favorite:
1. Communication design
Graphic design, web design, and many other design categories are part of this communication design category. The best place to submit your work if you are a graphic designer.
