A’ Design Award & Competition 2026
The A'Design Award and Competition is for designers, innovators and companies that want to highlight themselves to attract the attention of media, publishers and buyers.
The mission of the A’ Award and Competition is to provide a fair, ethical and competitive platform for companies, designers and innovators from all design fields with different experience levels, diverse disciplines and market focus to compete on, while providing them a global audience to showcase their success and talents to. The A’ Award and Competition aims to act as blender; to bring together designers, companies and the press.
The A’ Design Award & Competition was developed after a scientific research study based on prior analysis of thousand other design competitions as well as ethnographic research and survey of over five-hundred designers and brands who take part in design competitions.
