A’ Design Award competition has been running since 2010 as a new way of methodology compared to the existing design competitions. Most of the competitions were mostly focused on the profit and prizes and they used to provide the minimum feedback possible as for the results. Moreover, their scoring system lacked standards and as a result, it was almost impossible to understand and measure any possible achievements.

Grand Jury Panel

It is really important for a competition to have a good jury panel who will use an extensive methodology, in order to evaluate the submitted entries. A prestigious jury is a valuable asset for the competition as it creates benefit and value for participants by transferring their expertise and ideas to the contestants. In the A’ Design Award competition, entries will be judged by an international jury panel of scholars, professionals and media members following a peer-review process with anonymous voting and evaluation. Jury panels shall be comprised of recognized but most importantly experienced international designers, professors, entrepreneurs, journalists, and publishers.

There is a code of conduct that every jury member must follow: sign a jury agreement,  and also excluded from taking part in the competition.  In addition, to avoid conflicts of interest, the jurors may not be employees of the participating companies. Furthermore to create further value to participants, the A’ Design Award and Competition introduced a  prejudging phase which is called preliminary evaluation and checking during which participants can get insights about their work before they participate into the finals.
