FAQ Entry #406

This is a respond to a previously asked question about the A' Design Award and Competition. The full list of frequently asked questions can be accessed here.

#406: A product, to be submitted, needs to be produced by a company or not? For example can I submit a table only by a render image? Or submitting a prototype photo?

The product or design you submit does not need to be produced by a company; designers (as well as companies) can submit their products but also product concepts which are not yet produced or realized. These concepts could be presented in the form of photographs of prototypes, renderings of 3D drawings, or any other new visualization techniques that can explain the project. You can submit a design that is not yet produced, and you can use renders or photos as you please.

The following questions could be related:

• #236: Are the submissions without a prototype judged on equal grounds as those who have one?
• #368: If someone's submitted design gets selected in the A' Design Award then he/she has to make that design in Actual form immediately? If yes, how much time is provided for that ?
• #377: I have had a read through your guidelines and will be applying for the preliminary stage very soon - just one thing, I see no mention or address for submitting on actual product, prototype or sample. Is a product or prototype submission required?
