Now's your chance to enter the world's largest design competition, the A' Design Awards

That recognition will undoubtedly take you places. But you won't win anything if you don't put yourself forward for competitions, which is why you might want to consider this excellent opportunity from the A' Design Awards.

The annual contest is the world's largest design competition, reaching over 200 countries. You can register and enter online, but first – let's cover a bit more background on what to expect.

Who can enter?

All entries are evaluated by an expert jury of scholars, professionals and media members, and winners will be announced on Creative Boom on 15 April 2020.

Whatever your creative discipline, there's an award suitable for you. And if you win, think about the benefits of self-promotion and the future of your career.
