Hasta La Ideas

The Core77 Design Awards is back and better than ever! Our second annual celebration of design excellence, enterprise and intent is just around the corner so keep us in mind as you finish and file your projects completed in 2011. The call for entries opens on January 17th, 2012 with an earlybird discount that saves 20% on your entry fee!

This year, we’ve added wonderful new categories: Food Design for your edible objects and food systems, Writing and Commentary for criticism and journalism about designed objects, spaces, and processes, and we’ve split last year’s Product Design category into Consumer Products and Equipment.

The Core77 Design Awards is an innovative and celebratory platform for engaging with the design community as well as prospective clients. Our distributed jury teams are composed of design leaders from around the globe so stay tuned for announcements of this year’s Jury Captains and Jury Teams. Award winners will receive great exposure here and through our network, a spot in our awards publication and, of course, the sweet C77DA trophy that acknowledges collaboration.

So mark January 17, 2012 in your calendars! Ready your projects from 2011, and be a part of the most amazing and inclusive celebration of design. Visit the Awards site for the full 17-category menu!

Eligible submissions must have been launched, published or completed in 2011 and must have been produced (aka real), unless you’re entering into the Speculative category or entering in a Student field.
