A’ Design Award & Competition, one of the most well-known international annual juried competitions for design, is currently accepting submissions for its next cycle. The prestigious awards program covers a wide range of creative fields to highlight the very best designers from all countries in all disciplines. Entries to the competition are peer-reviewed and judged by a jury panel of experienced academics, prominent press members and established professionals.

The A’ Design Award is an opportunity for distinction, prestige, publicity and international recognition through the A’ Design Prize, which is given to celebrate all awarded designs. While the A’ Design Awards accepts entries 100 main categories, including lighting, toy, car design and more, we’ve chosen to highlight a list of our favorite winners in the Furniture, Decorative Items and Homeware Design category. We hope this list raises awareness of the talented winning designers while inspiring you to submit your own work for recognition. This particular category is open to both concept stage and realized designs, so really anything goes.
