The contest is open to everyone, everywhere. And in a bid to encourage creatives from all over the globe to enter, the organisers have just revealed its World Rankings, which lists the world's nations in order of how many A' Design Award they've won.

Take a look here and see how your country is doing. Do you feel its placing represents its contribution to the creative industries fairly? If not, then maybe that's a further reason to enter the contest: national pride!

In the meantime, to give you an idea of what you're aiming for, here's a selection of worthy winners from 2017.
