A’ Design Award & Competition – Call for Entries

By: Vy Yang

The following post is brought to you by A’ Design Award and Competition. Our partners are hand-picked by the Design Milk team because they represent the best in design.

Whether you’re an emerging designer or one who has new projects in your portfolio to share, the A’ Design Award & Competition will help get your designs out onto the world stage. This year’s competition is closing soon so start your registration and application today – this year’s submission deadline is February 28, 2023!

While there are many reasons why you should take the time to enter this competition, the biggest reason is it provides a platform for you to get your name, design, and portfolio out into the design industry, which can be hard to do in this day and age. Obtaining valuable feedback from industry experts and media is also hard to come by, but this contest offers that as well during the judging process. There are over 100 categories of design, as well as special awards (like the Good Industrial Design Award and the Good Architecture Design Award), under which you can submit your design, whether it’s a concept, prototype, or finished product.

Learn more about the A’ Design Award & Competition here and check out some of last year’s lighting design winners below for some inspiration + encouragement. We’re excited to see who this year’s winners are which we will announce on April 15, 2023, so check back soon!
