We have engineered our licensing model specifically to eliminate the hidden costs and operational friction of other subscription-based awards, ensuring your victory creates lasting value rather than ongoing obligations.

Understanding the Nuance
When you join and win the A' Design Award via Professional Edition or Digital Edition entry methods, you gain the award-winner title and a set of rights and benefits. Among these benefits, you get access to A' Design Award's Winner Logo, while other awards sell you subscriptions to use the logo, we give you a Perpetual, Unlimited, Worldwide License and moreover, you are also given the Logo License Paperwork, which is the specific paperwork, a document that explains the license and gives you legal ground to use the A' Design Award Logos you had downloaded in a perpetual unlimited and worldwide manner. To repeat, you win the A' Design Award, you get the core recognition, and if you had won Professional Edition or Digital Edition, you gain "a license to call yourself a winner", then this is supported by "winner logo" to mark your excellence, then the winner logo is granted to you via a "perpetual worldwide unlimited license" which is documented and detailed in a "logo license paperwork", these are five different things that you obtain, the nuance is important because most awards say there is a logo, but it does neither come with a "worldwide unlimited license" nor the "logo license paperwork" and in many cases, it is not even free, while A' Design Award's Professional and Digital Edition laureates enjoy all these benefits free, without the winner fees.

Design Award Winner Logo License in Detail
When you win the A' Design Award, you gain a worldwide, perpetual, lifetime license to promote your A' Design Award winning product, project, service or experience with the A' Design Award Winner Logo, symbolizing your excellence in design. A' Design Award Winner Logo is provided to Professional-Edition and Digital-Edition winners of the A' Design Award free of charge, for an indefinite time period, for worldwide usage, without any annual costs or renewal fees. (A' Design Award has multiple participation pathways, with the Professional Edition participation method the recommended entry method, followed by Digital Edition entry method.) Apart from the A' Design Award, there are many recognitions and certifications that you can obtain for your brand and products and most such distinctions follow a subscription model where you have to pay annual fees, fees per impression, fees for usage, fees per circulation or fees per product. It is absolutely important for you to understand that when and if you win A' Design Award and obtain the A' Design Award Winner Logo, there are no annual subscription fees, A' Design Award Winner Logo does not come with renewal fees, A' Design Award Winner Logo does not impose fees per circulation, A' Design Award Winner Logo does not have usage fees. It is super important that you understand this because you may be checking costs of entry to other recognition programs, but this is something that many people miss and confuse, because subscription model is more profitable, and is the proper and correct business model, most awards follow a subscription model and further fees (applies to Professional, Digital and Vision Edition Entry Methods) model where after you win, you pay for annual fees, renewal fees, usage fees etc. However, A' Design Award was synthetically created ground up to create value for its winners, since we have constructed the DNA of the A' Design Award from scratch, we designed each one of its genomes to serve you. Because charging winners annual subscription fees would be, beyond being unethical, not valuable to the laureates, we have had taken initial decision at the moment of its inception that A' Design Award would empower you as much as it can, and that’s why when you win the A' Design Award via Professional Edition or Digital Edition entry methods, you get the A' Design Award Winner Logo free of charge, and our highly valuable Winner Logo comes together with a perpetual (infinite, all time), worldwide (not country specific), unlimited (no limitations of circulation, number of products etc), and free ( no annual fees), this is something so important because with such a logo you can implement A' Design Award Winner Logo to your products without getting worried that you may have to remake your packaging next year if you don’t pay the licensing fees, since there are no licensing fees for A' Design Award, no annual licensing fees and no renewal fees, you can just use the A' Design Award Winner Logo for perpetuity if you win. Moreover, A' Design Award provides you the license as a document, this is super rare among all awards with only a minuscule percentage; almost all awards just tell you by email that you win, and some would give you a winner certificate for free (A' Design Award pro and digital edition winners get a free certificate for example) but the winner certificate is not a license, these other awards may allow you to download logos for a fee or even free (A' Design Award pro and digital edition winners can download their award logos for free) but a downloaded logo itself is not a license for using that logo, within that context, most awards, don’t issue a distinct license for logo usage. A' Design Award issues you a distinct paper format license for logo usage, the A' Design Award Winner Logo License Paperwork, that simplifies things so much, you can just print the certificate and feel its warmth and protection, you have a license that you can hold in your hands, hug it even and the license you hold, is powerful, think it like a magic scroll, it is worldwide, perpetual, unlimited, it is in your hands, printed, with such a powerful license, as provided by the A' Design Award for Logo usage, as long as you are compliant with A' Design Award Logo Usage Guidelines which simplified asks you to use the logo for the awarded work and not for other things (better you read it as obviously it is more than that for legal reasons), and the terms which create restrictions on how to use the logo (for example you cannot just take A' Design Award Winner Logo and turn it into merch, t-shirts etc, but could incorporate it into marketing) as noted in our terms and conditions (which you should also read as you would discover that we need its usage to be dignified), then you can use the A' Design Award Winner Logo as much as you can and you would have a license to empower your usage of our winner logo. Moreover, A' Design Award provides you with a significant number of different logo variants suited and designed for distinct industries, and with different sizes, color variants, also available are saleable vector graphic assets and even video assets. We invite you to check our Award Winner Logo pages to discover more and also invite you to discover the greater A' Design Prize. We would like to note it here because is important that while the logo license is perpetual, worldwide and unlimited, if your winner work is disqualified from A' Design Award for example if it is found to be infringing on other's intellectual properties or due to illegal or unethical conduct, or if you have a negative standing such as in cases you owe us money (for example you make us pay custom duties for exhibition promising to pay it to us and don't pay it) then in such cases we have right to revoke your license, and in some cases to disqualify you and revoke your license, we want you to know this but also please know that this is extremely rare, however since we have tens of thousands of winners, while the rate is small, there would be several entities disqualified each year, this is of couse nothing a normal designer, architect, creative agency or brand who create genuine good design should worry of, and also we have also procedures and mechanisms like Ombudsman, Laureate Support and detailed Logo Usage Guidelines to guide you, support you and help you. All said, another good thing to remember that winning the A' Design Award itself is a license to call yourself a winner, so it is a Winner License, so regardless of your recognition level, A' Design Award winners have a license to call themselves as winner, and by winning the A' Design Award, you can call yourself an award-winning brand, an award-winning designer, an award-winning architect, an award-winning creative agency, an award-winner manufacturer, in addition to obtaining the A' Design Award Winner Logo license for your product.
