Conceived by a group of designers, thinkers, and entrepreneurs in 2007 as a response to the lack of recognition and celebration for smart and sustainable multidisciplinary design, the International Design Awards, or the IDA, recognize, celebrate, and promote great designs while also uncovering hidden talent. The awards, assembled by the Farmani group (who also created the Annual Lucie Awards for Photography) are peer-reviewed and anonymously judged by an influential jury panel of experienced academics and established design industry professionals. Winners of the IDA receive a spectacular trophy, designed by Ron Taft, along with exposure to IDA’s vast design network, helping give your brand and your designs the boost they need.
