COVID-19: COMPETITION STILL OPEN AS NORMAL

CLICK HERE TO ENTER BEFORE OUR FINAL ENTRY DEADLINE OF 31ST OCTOBER

Why should you enter?

There are numerous benefits to entering, aside from that warm glow of satisfaction when you find out you’ve won!

Winning an award can:

  • Provide excellent PR and marketing opportunities
  • Help you break in to new markets and countries
  • Enhance the credibility of your services
  • Attract talent to your team and motivate your employees

But what makes these awards different?

We founded the awards with a clear vision to provide an equal opportunity for all types of entry, from the freelance designer, through to small design studios and large branding agencies. All entries are judged equally.

Each entry is assessed against submissions in its own category, so healthcare entries will be up against other healthcare entries for example. It’s an obvious idea but one that does not tend to happen for this kind of design competition. This also means that your work has a higher chance of winning, since it’s not competing with all the other IVIA entries.

We’re independent. We’re not affiliated to a publication. We’ve not been created by designers. We are simply a group of people who are passionate about good design.

We are truly international in that we are committed to drawing our pool of judges from all four corners of the globe.

Who is the team?

We are a small and nimble team with experience across advertising, events, visual identity and awards competitions ( having been involved with the International Photography Awards, Lucie Awards and Pilsner Urquell International Master Bartender competition ).

Why are we doing this?

We’ve set ourselves a lofty goal. We’re out to change perceptions of visual identity around the world. We don’t just see ourselves as a platform for the celebration and rewarding of great design work but a forum to engender debate on a global scale around the importance of visual identity and its place in our lives.

It’s an important debate and one we felt could be encouraged within the context of an independent international design competition that recognises the best visual identity work globally and the positive impact of a discipline that is so often misunderstood.

Categories

There are 21 categories in the International Visual Identity Awards design competition. When entering, please choose the most appropriate category for your design work. We reserve the right to re-categorize your work should we feel it to be necessary. You will be judged against design work submitted into the same category.

One winner and a second and third place runner-up will be announced in each category. One overall winner receives the title of ‘Visual Identity of the Year’.

Winners are announced on the IVIA website and by e-mail and receive a badge to display on their website and marketing collateral. Printed certificates are available upon request.

Rules

Entries must include not just a logo but also examples of its application across different items as part of a brand’s visual identity system.

Eligible entries must have been launched between 1st January 2019 and the closing date of 31st October 2020. If your project is complete but its launch has been delayed due to COVID-19, you may submit nevertheless. Entries are permitted from all countries worldwide.

All entries must be submitted online only through the IVIA website. Entries are only accepted with a completed online form and processed payment. Entry fees are payable in UK Sterling and are not refundable in any circumstances. One form per entry.

Concept or speculative work is not accepted, with the exception of the student category. Student entries are only valid if the entrant is registered as a full-time student in a recognised educational institution at the time of entry, or has graduated in the same year as that in which the competition takes place.

The organisers reserve the right, at their sole discretion, to remove any entry from the competition that they deem to be plagiaristic, ethically suspect or offensive and no correspondence will be entered into. The organisers reserve the right to ask for evidence of the publications of the items submitted into the competition. The organisers also reserve the right to re-categorize any entry should they feel it to be necessary.

‘Likes’, ‘follows’ or ‘retweets’ from the Visual Identity Awards social media accounts do not in any way constitute endorsement or favouritism towards any works and will have no bearing on the judges’ decision, which is undertaken independently.

The decision of the judges is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
