The German Design Award directly contributes to the overall commercial success. Prizes will only be awarded to projects that truly represent pioneering contributions to the German and international design landscape. The German Design Award identifies and presents unique design trends: a competition that advances the design-oriented scene.
The International Design Awards (IDA) exists to recognize, celebrate and promote legendary design visionaries and to uncover emerging talent in Architecture, Interior, Product, Graphic, and Fashion Design. IDA aspires to draw attention to the iconoclasm of design world wide, conceptualizing and producing great work.
Since starting out in 2006, the London International Creative Competition has been recognizing and rewarding the world’s most fresh and progressive talents. Our artists are connected not by conventions, but by qualities. They work across a diverse range of formats, from painting to printmaking and from fashion to photography.
Honorable Mention in the 59th Edition of “Najpiękniejsza Książka Roku” organized by “Polskie Towarzystwo Wydawców Książek.” The 59th edition of the competition gathered 108 publishing companies and 204 publications. The awards ceremony took place during Warsaw Book Fair 2019 at National Stadium (PGE Arena).
