MISSION STATEMENT

The International Design Awards (IDA) exists to recognize, celebrate and promote exceptional design visionaries and discover emerging talent in Architecture, Interior, Product, Graphic and Fashion Design worldwide. The Farmani Group founded the 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 were designed by Chen Design Associates, San Francisco. The original IDA concept was established by Hossein Farmani and Reto Eberle with the assistance of Jamie Waguh and Jules Janssen.

ENTRY TIPS

We created a list of tips to guide you through the submission process, step-by-step, to ensure that your design entry is strong and more likely to make a positive impact.

• Complete your company profile. Our system provides an auto-generated invoice, so please add your company address, e-mail, VAT number, etc. Also, share your company information and any previous awards that you have won!
• Because we have an international jury panel, the project description, credits and other information should be written in English language.
• The description is one of the most essential elements of your submission, so make the description engaging and interesting; keep it succinct, but provide as much detail as possible – share the original project idea, the design trigger, how the design contributes to society or local communities, etc.
• You can upload up to ten images with each entry. Select several images to provide an overall view of the design, in addition to close-up shots. Please keep in mind that if you win an award, then the cover image (the first image you upload) will be displayed as a thumbnail on the website and in the IDA Annual Book, so the first image should be one which best represents your design.
• 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 important to share with the Jury. The PDF will be ONLY viewed by the jury and not the public.
• Credit all of the designers who participated in the project. You can also add photographer and model credits as appropriate.
• Each design discipline has numerous sub-categories for you to choose from, and many entries could fit into multiple sub-categories. To increase your chance of winning we recommend to enter the projects in more than one sub-category. A discount is offered when entering same designs in additional sub-categories.

JUDGING CRITERIA

The evaluation process for entries to the IDA is based on various judging criteria which are constantly adapted to new creative, technical, social, economic and ecological requirements. These criteria are not comprehensive and not all criteria are applicable to each design. They simply provide an orientation framework and basis for judging, which is complemented by each individual juror’s expertise and professional background.

Each member of the Juryis passionately committed to providing a fair and unbiased evaluation of all entries.

The judging criteria include the following:

• Innovation — does the design stand out, provide something new to the market or supplement/improve an existing product or service?
• Aesthetics — artistic value of the form, shape, color, texture, finishing, engineering, material used, etc.
• Functionality — ease of use, safety and maintenance.
• Ergonomics — the overall interaction with the user.
• Durability — the quality and longevity of the design.

• Impact — the benefits delivered to the user and/or society by the design.
• Utility — does the design meet the intended purpose and needs of the user?
• Ecological compatibility — potential environmental and/or ecological impact
• Feasibility of production — how realistic is it, technically and economically, to bring this design to production and broad-scale use
• Emotional quotient (EQ) — in addition to fulfilling its practical purpose, will the design create a sense of enjoyment and satisfaction?

Scoring

The International Design Awards use a scoring scale between 1-10 points. Jury members are assigned categories based on their specific backgrounds and design expertise. All projects are viewed and judged randomly and anonymously to ensure unbiased and fair judging.

The IDA Jury

The IDA Jury are a selected panel of industry experts from each of the five IDA disciplines – Architecture, Fashion, Interior, Product and Graphic Design. Their talents and contributions to their respective fields are genuinely aspirational and all jurors have at least fifteen years experience and are in leading or Founder positions within their organisations.
