A’ Design Awards and Competition
World’s Largest Design Competition
A’ Design Award & Competition is now over with over 12536 entries in 105 categories from 208 countries. This year there are more than 758 winners from 77 countries, in 74 different design disciplines.
Given the number of competing countries (208) and winner countries (77), A Design Award & Competition, is officially the worlds’ most diffused and international design accolade.
World Design Rankings, published by A’ Design Award & Competition each year has become a tool for scholars to discuss development of design in different countries. A’ Design Award winning projects will be translated to almost all languages to celebrate and promote the winners internationally.
Rigorous Jury Voting
The internationally influential 50-person jury panel composed of established scholars, prominent press members, creative design professionals and experienced entrepreneurs voted all entries.
Each entry was given a score between 0 to 100 by each jury member voting them, jury members were also allowed to cast negative votes for issues relating to entry guidelines or intellectual property rights. Before final score calculation, raw evaluation scores were weighted based on evaluation criteria, the expertise of jury members, and classification of jury members to arrive at real-raw scores.
For each category, standard deviation was calculated and gauss error function was used during conversion of the calculated normal distribution to approximated cumulative standard normal distribution within ranges of 0 to 100. Award status depended on the calculated z-score as long as the threshold for minimum raw score requirement for each category was met.
