Entries Closing: AGDA Australian Design Biennale Awards

Since 1992, the AGDA Design Awards have been Australia’s barometer for creative excellence.

Screen Shot 2014-07-04 at 11.25.35 amSince 1992, the AGDA Design Awards have been Australia’s barometer for creative excellence. The awards have grown inexorably across the event’s twenty year history, much like the organisation itself.

This year the awards have been given a thorough shakeup, to be more relevant to how they work in today’s environment.

They’ve listened to your feedback and have introduced new categories, streamlined entry process, a standalone website for entry submissions that will also be used for judging and as a gallery of finalists, and they’ve even introduced a new award, Design for Good.

Finally, for the first time ever, they have introduced trophies for the major awards.

Distinction and Merit awards each have their own version of the AGDA Design Award trophy and they have introduced the Design for Good award that sits alongside Design Effectiveness as a unique and specific award for excellence, each with their own distinctive trophy.

Importantly, the prestigious Pinnacle Award classification has been retained to acknowledge truly outstanding work.

Get cracking, now is the time to start preparing your entries and get your creative work assessed by a jury of internationally, renowned designers.
