Digital Manual for the Grand A' Design Prize
When you win the A' Design Award, you receive access to an extraordinary collection of benefits, 188+ services for Professional Edition winners and 168+ services for Digital Edition winners, and here's the challenge we discovered: many of our laureates were using only a fraction of our benefits, not because they didn't want to, but because the sheer scale of opportunities was overwhelming, especially when discovering each benefit organically could take months or even years. Unlike most organizations that profit from "breakage", the industry term for unused benefits that save companies money, we at A' Design Award have a fundamentally different philosophy: we genuinely want you to use every single benefit you are entitled to because our mission is to promote good design globally and that only happens when our winners succeed spectacularly. That is why we created the Digital Winners Manual, a comprehensive yet digestible guide that transforms what could be months of discovery into hours of strategic action, listing every major benefit with clear descriptions, activation links, notes and step-by-step instructions so you can systematically extract maximum value from your win whether that's leveraging our translation services into 108+ languages, accessing international exhibition opportunities, utilizing our extensive PR campaign infrastructure, or any of the dozens of other services designed to amplify your success. We have invested heavily in creating this manual, along with our interactive Laureate's Journey too , video walkthroughs, real person support and personal assistance services, because we understand that your time is valuable and that navigating 188+ benefits without guidance would be like having a treasure chest without a map, hard to find. By providing you with an organized, prioritized, polished and actionable documentation, we are essentially compressing years of marketing agency fees and consultant costs into a self-service system you can implement immediately, share across your team, or even upload to AI assistants for strategic planning, because ultimately, when you succeed in communicating your design excellence, attracting premium clients, penetrating new markets, getting featured in media and building lasting brand authority, you create demand for better design globally, which advances our shared mission of making the world a better place through superior products and projects that benefit society.

Digital Manual for Winners
When you win the A' Design Award via Professional Edition nomination pathway, you gain eligible to 188+ benefits included within the grand and coveted A' Design Prize. Digital Edition A' Design Award winners on the other hand, are able to enjoy 168+ benefits reserved for Digital Edition laureates. Both the Digital and the Professional Edition A' Design Prize contains a substantial number of benefits to boost your brand and your winning work via extensive services and benefits that include but not limited to international public relations campaigns, international media coverage, translation of your winner work to 108+ languages and their publication through the International Design News Network, your inclusion in prestigious rankings, ratings and classifications such as World Design Rankings and Design Business Index, personalized interviews with winners on their award winning work, design interviews, designer interviews as well as coverage in esteemed platforms like Visionary Review, opportunity to take part in international (physical) design exhibitions in various cities as well as the possibility to join very distinct digital exhibitions, complimentary platform inclusion and listing at designer.org as well as designers.org in addition to getting listed at design showcase platforms like Best Designs of the World, further coverage possibilities with personalized press releases, electronic press kit preparation, press release distribution via /design/newswire as well as coverage at design|newsroom in addition to access to press pitch system, as well as the ability to download logos to easily and instantly communicate your excellence, your coverage in design encyclopedia and your legacy at design museums as well as 150+ more benefits as included in the grand A' Design Prize. All the benefits listed so far, are just a very small fraction of a fraction of benefits included in the grand A' Design Prize which is truly immense and magnificent. Because A' Design Prize is truly big, a grand manual for our grand prize was necessary. Here, we want to remind that unlike A' Design Award, many companies do not want customers to use the services clients have already paid for; that is because in general each and every service provided by a company is an added cost, and by making it harder for clients to use the benefits, many companies try to save money from unclaimed services, unused credits, never redeemed benefits and underutilization and this is called Breakage. The reason we remind you this is because A' Design Award has multiple systems working together to help you utilize all the wonderful benefits included within the grand A' Design Prize. First of all, A' Design Award provides each Professional Edition laureate attending its prestigious black-tie red-carpet gala night and awards ceremony in Italy, free of charge, a hardcover manual that explains how to use the A' Design Prize. In addition to the hardcover manual, we also have an interactive guide, the interactive A' Design Award - Laureate's Journey tool gives you step by step instructions to use your A' Design Award benefits. In addition to our interactive tool and hardcover manual, we also e-mail you at critical moments such as deadlines as well as best times to utilize our services, service reminder emails to help you leverage your A' Design Award benefits. Moreover, through our events like Ars Futura Cultura we introduce you A' Design Award benefits, after you already win, and how to use them to your advantage, notice how this is different from hiding benefits, i.e. we cannot in general communicate all A' Design Award benefits in advance to our laureates because our list of benefits that include over 188+ services is simply too much to digest, and requires substantial amount of time investment just to understand them, so when we promote A' Design Award, we generally promote the Trophy, Yearbook, Certificate, Gala, Design Exhibitions and PR Services, however underneath all these, the A' Design Prize is immense and massive, indeed so big that, we have developed so many tools simply to help you utilize it, the hardcover manuals, interactive tools, in-person presentations in Ars Futura Cultura and other events, electronic service reminders, and our very detailed articles help us communicate your the benefits of winning the A' Design Award, after you win. Within the scope of all these, we further provide a Digital Manual for Winners. Unlike the interactive tool that gives you step by step instructions and quick links, the Digital Manual is very similar to our hardcover A' Design Award Winner Manual, and comes in a digital portable document file format. Using our Digital Manual for Winners, you can discover new A' Design Award benefits that you have never heard of, unlock new free services that are made available to you (based on your entry methods such as Professional Edition entry or Digital Edition Entry), as well as get short summary and understanding of each and every A' Design Award Benefit and how it helps your brand. In the A' Design Award Digital Manual for Winners, we give short summary of each benefit, this way you do not have to read hundreds of pages of documentation we have at A' Design Award website and save time. Moreover, you could potentially simply upload the A' Design Award Digital Manual for Winners to your AI assistant or companion and you can have real time interactive discussions, you could for example strategize what to do first, what to do next, and how to achieve them. In the A' Design Award Digital Manual for Winners, in addition to introduction of the A' Design Award winner benefits, we also provide you a single URL for each noted benefit, which is called the A' Design Award Benefit URL. Visiting the A' Design Award Benefit URL, you are generally required to login first, and after login, you will have access to the benefit personalized to you. For example if the benefit you wish to access is A' Design Award Winner Logo or A' Design Award Winner Logo License Document, that the logos and license documents for the logos would be already personalized for you, making it super easy for you to utilize the service fully. In addition at each A' Design Award Benefit URL, we explain in great detail, how to utilize the service, how to utilize the service in an efficient manner, and why the service matters at the first place and how can you benefit and leverage the service better, this is important because it gives very important background context for your AI assistant to help you even easier, because by copy pasting the A' Design Award Benefit URL contents, you can instantly give your AI assistant the much needed background context to how to utilize the benefit and learn its nuances. Of course smart AI models, using tree of thought and chain of thought, are able to come up with strategies, moreover smarter newer models have already learned from their previous tree of thought and chain of thought processes on how to leverage the services better, however A' Design Award Benefit URL is still immensely useful because it gives detailed nuance of the service, and by giving the detailed nuance through in-depth documentation, your AI assistant is able to direct you in the right way, making your usage of A' Design Award services more efficient, more legal, more powerful. In addition to the A' Design Award Benefit URL, the A' Design Award Digital Manual for Winners can also be printed, and you may print it all or a certain parts of it, we give you the license and opportunity to do so (as long as you do not print them for commercial purposes such as for selling it to others). By printing select pages, you can physically make notes on what you want to achieve, and strategize. By printing all pages, you may reorder and rebind the A' Design Award Digital Winners Manual to follow your very own design awards marketing strategy to get more out of your A' Design Award success. The A' Design Award Digital Winners Manual is also valuable if you are a Professional Edition laureate who have lost the hardcover manual that teaches you how to best exploit A' Design Award to your advantage. We have created the A' Design Award Digital Winners Manual because we truly want you to experience and use all the district benefits included in the massive A' Design Prize to your advantage. This is very important for us because as you know A' Design Award is a highly meritocratic award where entries must first pass through a preliminary round for presentation standardization, we know that by uplifting presentations and making sure all entries to A' Design Award have good visual presentation, we can reduce presentation bias and ensure all entries are voted on intrinsic qualities rather than visuals. Once all entries have good presentation, they are presented to the grand A' Design Award Jury Panel that consists of hundreds of experienced academics, design professionals and journalists who vote on the nominated entries following blind peer-review process on pre-established evaluation criteria. The results are announced once the scores are normalized and sorted. This gives a meritocratic evaluation but also makes it democratic because all works are voted on equal footing. However, once the results are announced, not all winners are capable of leveraging their A' Design Award benefits properly, and that's something we wanted to address and solve for. We wanted to solve this because even though the A' Design Award is highly meritocratic and democratic, if the winners cannot utilize the benefits completely, the result would be unequal outcomes. However we want to ensure that winners get a lot of publicity and pr benefits, to the maximum extent as they can, this would make sure that A' Design Award is not only meritocratic and democratic in its evaluation but also meritocratic and democratic in post-results announcement, empowering laureates from all account types (from young designers to multinational consortiums) to utilize the grand array of A' Design Award benefits properly. We want to ensure all laureates utilize our benefits completely because our primary mission as A' Design Award is to help make the world a better place, and by empowering our laureates to leverage their massive success at A' Design Awards, by making A' Design Award winners to properly communicate their excellence, as well as by taking active actions to promote the A' Design Award winners internationally, worldwide, in almost all languages in all countries, we want to create a global appreciation and understanding of good design (A' Design Award winners are exceptional products, projects, services, experiences and works that benefit and advance society with their superior characteristics, thus promoting these superior products and projects helps the populations of the world to get a better understanding of what good design actually is, which in turn creates a higher demand for good design. By creating a higher demand for good design, we help ensure that more good design products and projects, each with new superior characteristics, ethical, sustainable, efficient aspects come to existence, and with each A' Design Award cycle, we are able to push the world towards a better equilibrium, a positive spiral of growth where good design benefits society, and then more good design is recognized, more good design is promoted, more demand for more good design is created, and thus more good design benefits society more, this is our primary mission as A' Design Award, and for that we have not only created an immense amount of services but also printed books, digital manuals, interactive tools, personal interactions and direct communications to help A' Design Award winners use the benefits they are entitled to. We do this because we truly care, we did not create A' Design Award benefits to simply attract you to join the A' Design Award, on the contrary, we have so many benefits such that we cannot even list them, and we generally push you to use the benefits once the competition is over, because we know by using A' Design Award benefits you can create immense marketing, branding and advertising value, you can penetrate new markets, you can convince clients, consumers, customers, buyers and investors, you can attract journalists to your products, projects and services, because for almost everything you need, we have created a service, a benefit or a tool that you can use, and we made all such tools available to Professional Edition laureates completely free of charge, with Digital Edition laureates enjoying almost all our digital benefits again free of charge, and by providing you with the winners manuals, interactive tools and service reminders, we empower you, creators of good design, to make a stronger impact in making the world a better place meanwhile also helping you establish a strong brand legacy, industry leadership position and marketing success for your award-winning products and projects that make a difference. Even with all of this, as A' Design Award we know there is always more room to grow, especially in areas that require less effort from winners and more automation or proactivity on our part. To achieve this in addition to making it available to you hundreds of benefits, we also provide hundreds of services that we ourselves actively provide, these include automated services for publishing you, promoting you, featuring you, advertising you, marketing you, and providing you with electronic press kits, press releases and press release distribution services, and for all these services we generally need a single action, where you provide us a license to legally empower us to promote you, with your license and declaration that says we can promote you anywhere and everywhere, we do our best to promote, advertise, market and campaign for you, in almost all countries, in almost all major languages, helping reach a significant portion of the world for showcasing your award-winning excellence in design. For example, instead of waiting for winners to use A' Design Award benefits, our system auto-enrolls and auto-initiates some key services (for example press release distribution, social media posting and designer profiles). Moreover, we also give possibility for you to interact, for example for your multilingual or additional press releases, to gain even more value. While for example we provide you listing in designer.org and designers.org we may ask you to provide more data so that your listing becomes better, so even for automated services, your involvement can sometimes makes the difference. Moreover, right after winning the A'' Design Award, Professional and Digital Edition laureates gain access to our Design Award Success Strategy Assistant, who helps you walk through your top priorities for your specific goals. This is in addition to our control panel and central dashboard that helps you instantly gain access and unlock all the benefits you are entitled for. Especially helpful for time-strapped winners, Professional and Digital Edition A' Design Award laureates gain access to short videos explaining how to activate and better leverage your A' Design Prize benefits for your success. Moreover, our physical events such as Ars Futura Cultura, La Notte Premio A', World Design Intelligence Summit, World Design Talks, World Design Exhibition and our international design exhibitions as well as workshops in addition to our forums help new winners connect with past laureates to share tips and strategies on how to get more out of your A' Design Prize. Finally, when and if you expect all services to be done-for-you automatically without any effort, we also offer a premium concierge service, especially useful for large brands and we are also happy to connect with you with our authorized service providers who can help you activate all the benefits in a white-glove fashion, that said some benefits would still require engagement or follow-up to make them more useful, for example your design or designer interview, while the concierge could guide you how to do it, your personal touch is important, however for this, we can directly engage with your design team, without making you tired, and we can make your design team respond to interviews for example, so even if you are super busy, our premium concierge could help, and if you have the time, we are happy to present you everything we offer in easy to access format so that you can get the most out of your participation. We know too many systems, tools and documents might paralyze action thus right after you win, we also offer you a simplified Top Actions You Should Take cheat sheet, this way you can get started with most important benefits with ease such as downloading the award logo, accessing your certificates and your press releases. Indeed to motivate you more, we have created gamification systems, every time you use one of our benefits or services, you may unlock a special badge that also helps you track your progress. However do not think that the A' Design Prize is only as powerful as your willingness to engage with it because indeed we provide a significant amount of benefits automated, so even if you do not do anything, as long as you upload your license and declaration that empowers us, we will do immense service for you, this includes newsroom creations, newswire promotions, press releases, multilingual translations, international advertising and promotion campaigns, inclusion in rating and ranking systems, profile at designer.org designers.org and other prominent design and innovation promotion platforms, promotions via daily features such as design of the day, designer of the day in our social media campaigns, showcasing you in our exhibitions (even if you are lazy to send your product for physical exhibition, we would create free of charge posters or digital screen presentations to showcase your works), as well as publishing you in multiple books on designs (such as hardcover winner annual, digital yearbooks), in addition to a significant number of other benefits. And when you need a step-by-step strategy based on your goals (PR boost, client acquisition, exhibition opportunities among others) or even for a simplified action plan based on your edition (professional or digital) we have real person support, you can simply contact us and get insights, we are here to help, because in the end, we know helping you, who create superior products and projects that benefit and advance society, is helping the world become a better place with good design. If for whatever reason our support fails to reply you timely, you can also contact our ombudsman, in the end, our goal is to empower you using all the benefits of the A' Design Award.
