Melbourne Design Awards 2012 - Entries open NOW
Submitted by: design100
design100 proudly presents the 2012 Melbourne Design Awards (MDA).
The MDA is the first design awards program that recognises a broad range of design categories and is open not only to any emerging and professional designers globally but also those who commission design.
The Awards are cross-disciplinary, celebrating and honouring the role of design and the skills of designers around the world, while recognising all aspects of the design process, including product, digital, interiors, architecture, graphic, textile, events, fashion, advertising, food, experience and publications.
One aspect that sets this awards program apart from others is its democratic voting system. Voting is open to both the design public and design industry peers, allowing everyone with an interest in design to make their mark and for the design marketplace to have a voice.
Recent 2011 winners include everything from a music video, driving simulator, websites and an event experience, to the design of a junior boy’s school, a kitchen bin, and corporate identity and branding.
The aim of the Melbourne Design Awards is to:
- Celebrate those who produce excellent design works.
- Celebrate those who sponsor, fund or commission design projects.
- Promote and encourage participation and conversation in all aspects of design.
