EDAWARDS European Design ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION

EDAWARDS

European Design

BRIEF

A European Community
of Excellence
Since 2007 a group of people, made out of publishers, journalists, editors and academics, come together on a yearly basis, to gather, evaluate and acknowledge the best examples of communication design in our continent.
It is a very special and unique set up, in the sense that it involves the people who curate similar content on an every day basis. As such it also provides participants with an opportunity to make their worκ visible to a wider audience (through the media that the jury members represent).
The European Design Awards wraps up with a festival in a different city every year, leading up to the awards ceremony. This creates an ideal opportunity for the most creative people of our community to come together, benchmark, be inspired and celebrate.

SCHEDULE

The submission rules must be published at least one month before the submission period. The submission period is between 15 December 2018 and 22 February 2019. In order for a submission to be valid, the fee needs to be paid before the deadline and the posted sample must arrive to European Designs Greek office no later than 5 March 2019. The organisers reserve the right to extend the deadline provided that they announce it in due time.

AWARDS

There are three levels of distinction: Gold, Silver and Bronze.
In each category, a Gold is only awarded if the jury believes that the specific work is of extremely high calibre. The Gold winners receive a trophy during the Award Ceremony. In rare cases, the maximum of two Gold awards may be given in one category.
Silver winners receive a diploma during the Award Ceremony. A maximum of five Silver awards are given per category.
Bronze winners receive a diploma by post or in the ED-Conference reception. A maximum of five Bronze awards are given per category.
