Recognition for good design

When you successfully apply good design, seeking recognition through awards can be a good way to validate the success of your project.

As well as publicising your achievements, winning design awards and gaining recognised standards could help:

• build your brand recognition
• boost market sales
• increase customers' satisfaction
• create desirability of your products and services
• maximise return on design investment

Design takes many forms so it's important to explore the different award options (eg web design, graphic design, branding or packaging).

Local, national or international design awards

When seeking recognition for your design project, you could enter relevant awards at a regional, national or worldwide level.
