When the “Hex Kite” by Wind Architecture Studio takes flight, it looks like an alien is making contact with Earth. But we assure you it’s not an extraterrestrial—it’s one of the past winners of the A’ Design Award! The lightweight creation won big in the “Arts, Crafts and Ready-Made Design” category last year.
Now it’s your turn to make your mark in the A’ Design Awards. They welcome a variety of artists, designers, architects, and more to express their unique vision through creative works. In the years’ prior winners, the top-ranking submissions have made us laugh and made us think; but no matter the tone, each is clever in its own way. Here, we’ve highlighted winners from “Arts & Crafts,” but the competition goes well beyond that. In fact, there are 100 different categories you could enter.
Check out some more of the winners from “Arts, Crafts and Ready-Made Design” and get ready to enter this year. All submissions are reviewed by an esteemed panel of international judges. If you’re chosen, you’ll receive an incredible prize pack that includes an award trophy, PR campaign, and a ticket to their fabulous gala night.
Extended deadline: February 28, 2018.
