ABOUT IDA

A handful of designers, thinkers and entrepreneurs created the International Design Awards in 2007 as a response to the lack of recognition and celebration for smart and sustainable multidisciplinary design.

MISSION STATEMENT

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. Farmani Group assembled IDA as the design sibling of the Annual Lucie Awards for Photography, which has emerged as one of the world’s most prestigious photography awards.

CREDITS

The IDA trophy was designed by Ron Taft. The IDA logo, the 2007 and 2008 books where designed by Chen Design Associates, San Francisco The original IDA concept was established with a great help from Jamie Waguh.

ENTRY TIPS

We have created a list of the best tips to guide you through the submission process, step by step, making sure your design entry is strong and will have a positive impact on the Jury.

  • Complete your company profile. Our system provides an auto-generated invoice, so please add you company address, e-mail, VAT number, etc. Also, share your company information and any previous awards won!
  • Since we have an international jury panel, the project description, credits and other information should be written in English.
  • The entry description is one of the most essential parts of your submission, so make your description engaging and interesting; keep it succinct, but still give as much information as possible; share the original project idea, the design trigger, how it contributes to society or local communities, etc.
  • Don’t forget to also upload a PDF file with any additional project details, 3D drawings, product specifications, business plans, or any other information you may feel is important to share with the Jury.
  • Credit all of the designers that took part in the project. You can also add photographer and model credits as appropriate.
  • Each design discipline has many sub-categories for you to choose from and many entries would fit in multiple sub-categories. To increase your chance of winning we recommend to enter the projects in more than 1 sub-category. A 50% discount is offered when entering your design in additional sub-categories.

PROMOTING WINNERS WORK

An industry-recognised award serves as an independent endorsement of your company’s quality. Winning the International Design Award is a great competitive advantage for a company and, more importantly, it’s an evaluation that potential customers are more likely to trust than any marketing material you can produce. We know that social proof is one of the most influential factors in a consumer’s decision making.

Consumer and Professional (third party) reviews are nearly 12 times more trusted than descriptions, and winning the International Design Awards is like the ultimate review or testimonial.

Here are a few ideas how you can maximize your win and make it work to the benefit of your design and/or brand.

PREPARE A PUBLIC RELATIONS PLAN

  • Issue a Press Release and send it to your local media and/or communication agency. IDA publishes the official winner press release on the IDA website and this is a good template to start with.
  • Add “Award-Winning” to all company/product descriptions. Once you win an award, from that day on you have the right to call yourselvs an “award-winning” company or designer. Make sure people know that your work has been distinguished in this way.

MAKE YOUR WIN A CENTREPIECE OF YOUR MARKETING PLAN

  • Print your Certificate and Winner Badge and display them at your office/company
  • Share the Certificate and Winner Badge with your online community by adding them on your website and direct marketing.
  • Add the Winner Badge on brochures, printed media, packaging, or anything else that carries your company/brand/deisgn logo. This is a fantastic marketing differentiation opportunity.
  • Add your Winner Badge to your email signature with a simple statement that says “winner of the (year) (award name). Your email signature is seen daily by scores of people who may not know about your award.
  • Make sure you own at least one copy of the IDA Annual Book, in which your winning design will be featured amongst other amazingly talented designers, and make sure it’s visibly displayed in your office or reception.

UTILIZE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

  • Share your award-winning project on your social media. Make sure you have a well-written post that highlights your acheivement and which can potentially be shared by your clients, partners, colleagues and friends. Don’t forget to tag our social media profiles and use the #IDA when spreading the news – we will be happy to share your post as well!
    • Facebook: International Design Awards
    • Instagram: idesignawards
  • Consider an advertisement. It’s common for companies to take out an advertisement after they’ve won an award to call attention to their achievement and even to congratulate fellow winners.

ADD IT TO YOUR DISTRIBUTION PACKAGE

  • Add the Winner Badge to your design page and/or Product display. This is a way to highlight your win to your retailers/agents, and they in turn will display this signage to the public which will drive interest.

MAKE IT PERSONAL

  • Celebrate the acheivement with everyone on your team—it’s a fantastic boost to morale. And have your sales & marketing team communicate the win to all their contacts/clients as well.
  • Highlight the award on your career page and/or company LinkedIn account

NETWORK & JOIN THE PARTY

  • Join the Winners’ Event. As an award winner, you will be invited to the bi-annual winners event that will be hosted in Los Angeles. Attending this get-together of designers, jury, and press is a great opportunity to share your work, meet other designers and build your network. It is also another great experience to share through your social media and website and will bring event more attention to your award.

COVID-19 DESIGN INNOVATION GRANT

The global COVID-19 pandemic presents unprecedented challenges for creatives and designers. But it also provides a unique opportunity to come together as acommunity and use our talents and skills to make a positive impact. So we are introducing a special “COVID-19 Design Innovation Grant” in collaboration with our sister award ePDA, in support of global efforts to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

We will be awarding four grants:

  • $5000 Grant for Product Design
    The ventilator is the difference between life or death for people with acute symptoms of COVID-19. We invite product designers to design ventilators or other life-saving equipment that can be produced at a cost of less than $1000. The winner will receive a $5,000 grant to produce their prototype.
  • $5000 Grant for Architecture and Interior Design
    A big challenge facing many during this pandemic is isolating a sick person from the healthy members of their family when they have to remain under the same roof. This $5,000 grant will be for a simple, practical, innovative solution for an in-home isolation pod that would allow those with COVID-19 symptoms and others to safely co-habit without transmitting the virus.
  • $2000 Grant for Graphic Design
    Our modern interconnected lifestyle has allowed COVID-19 to spread around the world at unprecedented speed, sending billions of people into lockdown as health services struggle to cope. We invite graphic designers and illustrators to submit their designs for a resource to help the public protect themselves, prevent spreading the virus to others, or deal with the psychological effects of isolation.
  • $2000 Grant for Fashion Design
    As the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 continues to rise sharply, some health experts have begun suggesting that we should all be wearing masks of some kind. We invite fashion designers to create fashionable and reusable masks or protective gear to help stop the spread of the virus.
