Joining forces once again with the world’s most diverse design competition, we’re excited to announce that the 2024—2025 edition has launched and, with that, designers, entrepreneurs, small businesses, academics, and more, are all invited to participate by sending in their early bird submissions to the A’ Design Awards & Competition.
Lauded as the world’s largest design competition, with almost 200 main categories and many more subcategories that cover a vast range of creative disciplines, those who enter not only get the chance of recognition from their peers, they get to showcase their works to a panel of judges made up of influential design professionals, press members and academics. What’s more, to kickstart the entry period being officially open, new submissions will receive a complimentary and confidential preliminary score, offering an exclusive glimpse into the judges’ thoughts at the A’ Design Awards.
