Support Low Income Sponsorship

Support for Low Income Students & Professionals
If you have a low or very low household income and if you are unable to afford nomination fees then we will help you by sponsoring your participation fully or partially.

Within our own standards, "low-income" means when your household income (combined money of you and everyone in your household) is less than double the Sum of Annual Legal Minimum Wage; for example, if the minimum wage rate is X / hr in your country, working 40 hour weeks would net you 40 X and if you work all year that is 56 weeks, then you would have 56 x 40 X = 2240 X units of annual income. So, we double this and it is 4480 X units of annual income. If your household income is less than 4480 X you have “low income” and if your household income is less than 2240 X you have “very low income” these are our own definitions of "low" and "very low" income, based on your country these will be different; you need to find X which is the minimum wage / hour rate in your country. We will not check your income statements so we will take your word on your statements, but please provide us the truth; the reason why we make this program is to provide an equal opportunity for the less privileged creators; with an ultimate aim to make the A' Design Award & Competition more fair, more ethical and thus more prestigious by making it more inclusive and more accessible. We are looking forward for your sincerity when you contact us. Finally, if you happen to get rich after many years of obtaining our sponsorships make sure to pay forward the good deed by paying the very people who work with you in future decent wages, that's all we want from you as compensation.

Very Low Household Income - Young Account Type
If you have very low household income (<2240X), that means you are living below poverty line, if you are a student and below 26 years of age (young account type), then we will completely sponsor one (1) of your work for awards consideration via digital nomination entry method, provided that you get a free preliminary score and your preliminary score is seven (7) or higher for your work. To benefit from this, all you need to do is create a free account, upload your work for free, and obtain a free and confidential preliminary score, and contact our support if your score is seven (7) or higher indicating your Design ID# and Profile ID# (What is My ID#) as well as link to this page. We will review your profile and assign your ticket if you are eligible. If you win, there are no further fees. Please kindly note that this is different than our design scholarship campaign, and you can benefit one time only.

Very Low Household Income - Professional Account Type
If you have very low household income (<2240X), that means you are living below poverty line, if you are a design professional (professional account type) but not a design agency, not a company, then we will completely sponsor one (1) of your work for awards consideration via digital nomination entry method, provided that you get a free preliminary score and your preliminary score is nine (9) or higher for your work. To benefit from this, all you need to do is create a free account, upload your work for free, and obtain a free and confidential preliminary score, and contact our support if your score is s nine (9) or indicating your Design ID# and Profile ID# (What is My ID#) as well as link to this page. We will review your profile and assign your ticket if you are eligible. If you win, there are no further fees. You can make use of this only once.

Low Household Income
On the other hand, if you have low household income (<44800X), but not very low household income (>2240X),we will instead provide you with a discounted nomination ticket purchase opportunity, with discount dependent on your country as we note in Global Design Patronage program. Furthermore, you may also benefit from our other programs too; make sure to check them all here.

When you win the A' Design Prize, you do not have to pay thousands in "Further Fees" that's great if you want to join a prestigious design accolade without losing a leg and an arm.
