ARCHISEARCH COOPERATES WITH THE INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AWARDS + CALL FOR PROJECTS

 

Within this context, hereby, you can find out more on how to participate for this year`s awards, spanning to various fields, from architecture to graphics.

 

The International Design Awards (IDA) announced a call for entries for their 9th awards. Set to recognize outstanding talent, IDA’s mission is to encourage creativity and innovation across all design fields, including architecture, fashion, graphic, interior and product design.

 

IDA offers a fantastic opportunity for multi-disciplinary designers from all over the world to receive the recognition they deserve for producing iconic and influential work. The aim is not only for designers to celebrate great work amongst their peers but to draw attention from those outside the industry to the ways in which design makes an impact on the world. With winners` work included in press campaigns, IDA design directory, and the annual book of designs, and celebrated at the IDA awards gala in Los Angeles, these prestigious awards are an excellent way for designers to promote work and reach new clients.

 

IDA also underwent a total identity makeover this year. Gustavo Piqueira, Head of Design at Casa Rex, and his team used their creative genius in crafting a brand new concept for the IDA brand. The International Design Awards emerged with a fresh look and stronger identity that will further enable the organization to promote and publicize its members and winners on a global scale. 

 

Entries to the 9th annual International Design Awards can be made online; if you have work that you think deserves recognition, head to idesignawards.com to find out more.
