A' Design Award Exhibition

A' Design Award Exhibition
A' Design Award and Competition annually organizes a design exhibition at the MOOD - Museum of Outstanding Design. The exhibition location changes each year. Professional edition winners of A' Design Award & Competition are provided an opportunity to exhibit their physical works for free while the digital edition participants are usually provided a shared video wall / screen that showcases their work, in both cases there are no fees for taking part in the exhibition. Laureates are also provided with certificate for each exhibition, the exhibition certificate is different from the award winners certificate.

Remember to join and nominate your design before the deadline to take part in our award winning designs exhibition.

Design Exhibition in Italy and Abroad
We organize the main exhibition in Italy and we try to take this exhibition to many countries each year. You will definetely have your award-winning design exhibited in Italy and most likely have your design exhibited in many more countries, and you will also get special certificate for each exhibition, plus we will also take photos from each exhibition and share with you.

Exhibition Posters and Displays
For each winning entry, A' Design Award & Competition either prints A2+ size posters on behalf of the winners without any charges, or procures very large (at least 80" - 200+ Cm displays) again without any charge to laurates, and for digital edition winners, only displays are provided. If A2 size posters are printed, these posters are later framed and hanged to the walls of the exhibition spaces. Here, it is important to note and disclaim that we organize exhibitions in different venues and countries, and we always try our best to carry the exhibitions to other countries, but not all venues could fit all the posters, in cases where the exhibition halls do not have enough space to fit all posters, we generally either rotate posters (which means we would hang part of the posters first for a set period and then rotate and switch the hanged posters with other posters), or we would display the posters that do not likely to fit the existing space, in digital screens, the decision of which posters to hang first, the order of any eventual rotation, and or which posters would be showcased digitally, is left to the exhibition curator. A' Design Award also reserves the right to make the exhibition completely digital, such as by means of projections, display walls and large digital signage or by using newer display methods including but not limited to 3D projections.

Exhibition of Products and Physical Items
It is great to know that winners are given opportunity to (but not obliged to) send their products and mock-ups to the exhibition, for this purpose A' Design Award & Competition provides stands and additional physical space, again free of charge for all professional edition winners. It is our obligation to remind you that the exhibition curator can decide to exclude certain designs from exhibition, including but not limited to any work that was damaged during transportation, dangerous, too bulky or due to space constraints. If you send in your product for exhibition, we could even decide to keep it for permanent collection and exhibit it every year, as long as the item condition stays good.

Exhibition Certificates
It is happy to know that each participant gets a special certificate for each of the design exhibitions organized in an award period. For example, if in a given year, we organize several exhibitions in different countries, you would be able to download several certificates, one for each exhibition, and of course that is also provided free of charge to our laurates. These certificates are great to add to your archives, to use in social media for promoting your brand and even useful for academic progression points as well as for citizenship applications.

Open to Public & High Profile Press Members are Invited
The A' Design Award & Competitions' Winner Design Exhibition is open to public. The award winning designs' exhibition attracts many design oriented visitors, and serves to disseminate the award winning works further. During the Exhibition, visitors are also given opportunity to buy A' Design Award yearbooks. Award winners use the exhibition as a part of their public communication. We always have professional photographers present in the exhibition. Photos taken during the exhibition are further shared in public channels and are sent to designer media.

Taking Part in the Exhibitions
Exhibition space is free for all eligible laurates. For digital participation, winners do not need to do anything; we will prepare everything for you, for physical participation; such as sending products for exhibition, that is managed from the control panel under the post-competition tab at exhibition participation page accessible after login. Award winners are required to confirm their participation status before the exhibition in order to get allocated their special space for exhibiting their physical products or mockups.

Important: In case, the space allocation is not enough to display all winners, we will try to rotate the exhibition images and posters or alternatively display only the Platinum and Gold projects, the decision is left to the exhibition curator, in most cases, if such limitation happens, we provide a digital display to ensure all winners are exhibited. For upcoming exhibition details and functionality for winners to send or retrieve items to the exhibition, please login and access exhibition participation page from your control panel.
