the A’ design award and competition 2024 deadline approaches!

A’ design award and competition february 28th deadline

There’s still time to submit architectural masterpieces, clever kitchen tools, and dashing designs by the A’ Design Award and Competition 2024 edition deadline. Not only do designers get the chance to join an international network of distinguished creatives, but winners can expect to be featured in the exhibition, yearbook, the World Design Rankings, and a host of top design publications (like designboom!) Additionally, winners can expect an invitation to the annual gala-night for networking, a translation of their project into 100+ languages, a designated trophy, an exclusive interview, and feedback from the jury. The competition gives out a variety of prizes, so designboom had chosen a few platinum-award winning projects (the top 1% of the competition) to motivate submissions. 

Submit here by the February 28 deadline for a chance to win the incredible prize package. Results are announced May 1, 2024.
