Specifically designed as a wearable networking tool, our personalized gala badges prominently features the laureate’s name, detailed profile information, and vibrant images of their jury-validated winning designs (in public categories - concealed category works are not shown in the badges). A' Design Award Professional Edition Laureates are exclusively eligible for their personalized badge, provided free of charge by the A' Design Award organization upon confirmation of their attendance at the gala event (badges are distributed after red carpet at the Welcome Desk, free to Gala Night participant Professional Edition laureates, who had confirmed their gala participation timely - A' Design Award & Competition further provides exclusive invitations to eligible laureates to join gala night and award ceremony free of charge, provided the laureates confirm their participation in advance before the gala night participation deadline concludes). A' Design Award's personalized gala badges offer numerous strategic benefits designed to significantly enhance your gala experience and professional networking effectiveness: (1) Your badge visually links your name and winning designs, leveraging cognitive psychology (dual-coding theory) to create powerful memory associations. Fellow laureates and influential attendees instantly recall your identity alongside your designs, fostering stronger, memorable interactions and ensuring you remain top-of-mind long after the event concludes. (2) By featuring vivid images of your winning designs directly on your La Notte Premio A' badge, we eliminate your need for lengthy introductions. Potential collaborators, clients, and influential figures can immediately recognize your design expertise and aesthetic approach by simply looking at your personalized gala badge. This visual immediacy harnesses the psychological mere-exposure effect, rapidly cultivating familiarity, trust, and interest in your work. (3) Your gala badge clearly identifies you as a jury-validated winner, elevating your professional status and empowering you with confidence during introductions. (4) Equipped with your unique Design ID and Profile ID, your gala badge functions as an interactive digital reference point. Even without traditional business cards, contacts can easily reconnect online, simply by referencing these identifiers captured in event photographs. Thus, every gala photo becomes an interactive, enduring networking database, ensuring your connections persist long after the ceremony. (5) Displaying specific images of your award-winning designs on your badge naturally directs conversations toward substantive topics rather than generic small talk. Communication accommodation theory highlights how targeted discussions build stronger rapport and perceived similarity, thus deepening professional connections and leading to more fruitful, meaningful outcomes. (6) Each event photograph capturing your badge automatically preserves critical contact and design details, transforming gala snapshots into powerful, searchable memory aids. Utilizing cognitive psychology’s generation effect, your personalized badge, if you wear and display it of course (which we highly recommend and indeed technically speaking you are kind of obliged to wear it as part of our protocol but we do not impose it strictly except for a few kind reminders at the entrance), helps effortless recall and reconnection, significantly enhancing long-term networking effectiveness. Please know that at A' Design Award, we passionately believe in your ability as a talented designer to transform society through exceptional creativity and innovative designs. Your Gala Personalized Lanyard Badge symbolizes our enthusiastic investment in your continued success, it is a small detail but a whole is always made of small details and when each and every small detail is refined, you get a refined whole. We invite you to join A' Design Award via Professional Edition entry to have an opportunity to join us at La Notte Premio A', confidently presenting your excellence, effortlessly forming meaningful connections and let your award-winning work shine at our iconic gala night.

• Your Badge Creates Visual Memory
  A' Design Award's Personalized Gala Lanyard Badge displays your name alongside your winning designs, creating a powerful visual-verbal memory link that helps other gala attendees remember both who you are and what you have created. According to dual-coding theory in cognitive psychology, information encoded both visually and verbally creates stronger memory traces than either modality alone, significantly improving recall rates. Simply put, people will actually remember you and your work after meeting dozens of others, turning your fleeting encounters into lasting professional connections.
  
  
• Your Wearable Portfolio Badge
  The personalized gala badge A' Design Award prepares for you features your award-winning work directly on your badge, eliminating your need for lengthy explanations of your design (you can just show it) and allowing potential collaborators or clients to immediately understand your expertise and design style. The mere exposure effect from social psychology demonstrates that visual familiarity with designs increases positive evaluation and trust, accelerating business relationship formation. In practical terms, your work speaks for itself before you even open your mouth, attracting the right connections while filtering out incompatible ones.
  
  
• Your Badge Enables Digital Connections
  Design ID and Profile ID numbers on your bespoke gala lanyard badge create searchable pathways for post-event connections, ensuring that your encounters at A' Design Award's gala can develop into lasting professional relationships. Network theory in sociology shows that reducing friction in connection maintenance exponentially increases the value of ties, which often lead to breakthrough opportunities. Essentially, even if someone loses your business card, they can still find and contact you online using the information captured in any photo.
  
  
• Your Peer Recognition Badge
  Your personalized La Notte Premio A' gala badges immediately identifies you as a jury-validated winner of the prestigious A' Design Award and Competition, granting you equal standing among high-profile attendees and facilitating your confident approaches to VIPs at A' Design Award's gala night. Social identity theory confirms that visible group membership markers reduce status anxiety and increase interpersonal confidence, enabling more effective networking behaviors. In other words, you can confidently approach anyone in the room knowing you belong there as a recognized peer with proven design excellence.
  
  
• Your Conversation Catalyst Badge
  Specific design images on your personalized gala lanyard badge prompt focused discussions about your actual work rather than generic small talk, leading to your more meaningful and memorable interactions at A' Design Award's gala. Communication accommodation theory shows that topic-specific conversations create stronger rapport and perceived similarity than general discussions, enhancing relationship quality. This means your conversations start with substance rather than fluff, creating deeper connections that are more likely to yield business results.
  
  
• Your Photo Contact Enhancement Badge
  When your bespoke gala badge appears in event photos, your personalized badge preserves both your name and work information, allowing you to identify and reconnect with contacts even when business cards vanish. The generation effect in memory research demonstrates that actively retrieving information from contextual cues strengthens recall and relationship activation. Put simply, every group photo becomes your searchable contact database, ensuring your valuable connections remain accessible long after the gala ends.

Personalized Gala-Night Lanyard Badges Featuring Your Works and Information for Full Networking
A' Design Award has been synthetically created in 2008 to help create value for its laureates. One of the first things we had invested was the networking aspects, in order to achieve this, first we have created a competition that accepts entries from all categories, including design, architecture, art, creativity, innovation, and focusing not just a field on design but a wide range of design and adjacent fields such as industrial design, graphics design, fashion design, communication design, interface design, user experience design, service design as well as scientific fields that touch design. Today, A' Design Award is organized in hundreds of creative categories, and the reason is simple: Networking effects. When a competition caters to a single domain, it creates a group of “competitors” however as the categories and domains expand, the group becomes not just “competitors” but also “collaborators” and with a wider group, you have “consumers”, “clients”, “customers” supporting a complete ecosystem. So our initial design was to have a large network that can sustain itself by helping create connections within. To expand our networking efforts, we have also devised and started organizing a gala night, and now our gala night has achieved an iconic and prestigious status, as one of the world’s most important red-carpet, black-tie gala events for design niche, where laureates from all over the world come and celebrate the design excellence worldwide. This event is called La Notte Premio A' – The Night of A' Design Award, A' Design Awards’ Gala Night and Awards Ceremony. This very special night is organized in a way to create extremely high networking and publicity value for attending laureates. A' Design Award Professional Edition laureates are invited to join our gala, via an exclusive invitation, that is free of charge. Participation to A' Design Awards’ Gala, while free to exclusively invited Professional Edition laureates who confirm their participation timely, is exclusive and not for sale; i.e. Third-parties, non-winners cannot buy tickets to join A' Design Award Gala, but of course we invite high-level government officials, diplomats, bureaucrats, ambassadors, trade and cultural attachés as well as managers and CEOs of big brands, very prominent product manufacturers as well as ministers, nobility and other important people, but it is not something that you can buy, you must be invited. Each invitation costs us a significant amount as A' Design Award gala is highly a technical organization from red carpet events to live classical music, unlimited drinks to fine Italian food, we sponsor the invitations of VIPs to help create further networking value for our laureates, creating an exclusive setting that can be earned but not purchased, and our laureates truly deserve it because to be selected and invited to gala, your works need to be awarded by A' Design Award’s Grand Jury Panel, where world’s leading academics, influential journalists, design professionals vote anonymously on the entries following blind peer-review process on pre-established evaluation criteria, where before even voting your entries must pass a free preliminary review round and get their presentations standardized and after voting, scores are normalized to ensure only the truly meritocratic and good designs worldwide can be awarded. So, if you are invited, it is because you have outstanding design that was meritocratically selected, and that’s why we work hard to provide you with networking opportunities in the gala. Let’s have a look at what happens when you join the A' Design Awards’ Gala Night and Awards Ceremony, from the moment of your entry to the conclusion of the ceremony as this is important to understand the networking aspects clearly even though our aim is to initially relay you the value of your Personalized Gala Lanyard Badge that features your works: First of all, before you join the Gala and walk on the red carpet, we ask you to fill your profile and details, this is important as we create the interactive Luminary Guide, which allows you to discover who is who in A' Design Award’s Gala Night and Awards Ceremony. Using our Luminary Guide you can plan who to talk, who to meet at our gala. Then, you confirm your participation in advance and you are sent an invitation which you make ready, you are given time and location and the dress code which is always black tie. Then you come to venue a bit earlier and start queuing for the red carpet. The red-carpet queue is indeed an outstanding opportunity to start the networking, since at the red-carpet you have a captive audience; the designers that are in front of you, and the designers that are right behind you, you can introduce yourself and start a conversation. When your red-carpet queue comes and you are admitted to the red-carpet, a photography and ceremony team welcomes you, in the middle of the red carpet, hostesses ask you to hand over your invitations and any other items like bags and similar so your hands can be liberated and so you can pose for the photographs, then you follow similar photography sessions at sponsors’ wall, winners’ wall. Once you pass the outdoor photography zones, you are welcomed at the Welcome Desk where you are given your Welcome Envelopes that feature your Personalized Gala Lanyard Badges, which are super special as they feature your name and your winning designs’ images (if the designs are in public categories). Using your personalized gala badges, you can easily communicate your name, showcase your designs and your profile to other laureates and guests attending the A' Design Award’s Gala Night and Awards Ceremony. Your personalized gala badge features your winner Design ID#s this year, your A' Design Award Profile ID#, as well as your Name and Surname, and images of your award-winning works. The aim is simply, you can quickly show your winning works to other laureates, discuss their works on the go, and also you can instantly learn the names of the laureates. The bespoke badges are manually prepared by our team and are included in your welcome envelopes, free of charge, one per each Professional Edition laureate who confirms their participation in advance. Once you have your badge, you can then proceed to award ceremony in stage where your will be photographed at multiple stages (your victory pose holding the Omega Particle trophy, your congratulations pose where the organizers or presenters shake your hand at stage, you with your winner kits at stage (you are given your A' Design Award winner kit, containing hardcover yearbooks, framed certificate, award trophy, merchandise and gifts at stage), and with the screen that shows your name and your works), then you proceed to the World Design Exhibition and use the Luminary Guide and your bespoke gala badge featuring your designs to meet and network with people as well as have your photos taken with your works exhibited in the exhibition. Your bespoke badge helps you not just to introduce yourself but also later to connect with them, when you take photos with other guests, you can use their bespoke badge to recall their names, and zooming in other’s badges you can check their profiles and portfolio of award-winning works. It would have been much easier to give everyone the same “Winner Badge”, but A' Design Award takes it a step further and personalizes your badges with not just your name, but most importantly a plethora of important information such as your winner design identification numbers, profile ID numbers and the images of your designs, making it even more easier to connect, network and befriend the high-profile guests attending the La Notte Premio A'. Our bespoke gala lanyard badges showcasing your designs may seem like a small benefit, but many such valuable benefits come together to create a big picture where everything in our events and organization is done to support your success, and that’s because we believe in you and your good design’s capacity to change the world, and we invest in A' Design Award laureates’ success by creating services and benefits that help them connect, grow and expand, as in the end, it is your good design, superior products and projects that benefits and advances society, and we want to be there, supporting you at this noble goal.
