Custom Design Competitions
Companies, Businesses and Institutions can utilize the A' Design Award and Competitions' existing IT Platform to run a design competition with their design competition brief. A' Design Award & Competitions will follow the design competition organization guidelines to run a design competition that fits your goals. Participants will use our existing platform to register, upload their designs and nominate their entries. There will not be any entry fees for participants. We offer two main packages.
