Collaborative, innovative, smart and scientific, thoughtful and philanthropic … these are just some of the adjectives the A’ Design Awards use to describe their colossal competition. And, as the 2022—2023 edition is already open, we’re making an early call for entries from designers, creatives, entrepreneurs and businesses who believe in making design that fits those adjectives and more.
The world’s largest competition with more than 100 categories and many, many more subcategories, the A’ Design Awards includes more disciplines than you can shake a stick at. From the ‘more popular’ Good Product Design Award, Good Architecture Design Award, Fashion and Travel Accessories Design Award, Digital and Electronic Devices Design Award and Social Design Award, to the more obscure ‘category 24 for hard to classify projects,’ it means that whatever your niche, literally, there’s a place for you here.
