FAQ Entry #412

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.

#412: About the possibility to participate as co-author (we are two designers that need to present one project) but I need to know if we must register separately or not. What are the correct steps?

The right step is to have one of the designer as the project leader and register a single account under this name. Then the second designer could be added as a team member. If you are not sure who should be the team leader, you might flip a coin or engage in a game of rocks, papers and scissors, alternatively you could try to type name as the name and surname of the first designer, and surname as the name and surname of the second designer, but this creates issues later for yearbook, certificates and many other things therefore we are very much against this.
