Winning entries receive coverage in hundreds of print and broadcast media networks around the world. IDSA has been honoring design excellence via the IDEA Awards since 1980. Entries are invited from designers, students and companies worldwide.

Each year the IDEA commissions an international expert jury to evaluate the submissions and award the best in design. “I had the pleasure of chairing this year’s jury,” said John Barratt. “Entries were very high this year, surprising given the economic decline; the turnout confirmed my belief that our industry is truly dedicated to affecting change.”
