What we seek from Press Partners?
We want to accomplish our primary mission of promoting good design. Our primary target, when working with media, publishers and influencers is to feature good designs and award winning works. First of all; we want to advertise, promote, highlight and recognize our winners and their excellent design works. That’s why, most of the content we are interested in are about simply promoting our winners and their projects.

Promoting A' Design Award winner works is a win-win case for your publication; because A' Design Award winning projects are usually very good, highly aesthetic, pleasant and original design projects that your audiences would be interested to see, read, watch or share. Indeed, in almost all cases, publishers have told us that the A' Design Award content outperforms their regular content in engagement metrics for virality; sharing, bookmarking, liking and so on. Plus, we are offering benefits for the publishers, media and influencers to cover for their time.

Another benefit is that since A' Design Award is organized in multiple categories, we are able to provide tailor-fit content. We are also able to provide template articles and content suggestions and if you decide to become a press partner, you will also have a concierge that will help you with everything related to A' Design Award.

Finally, in each feature, we also need to advertise and promote A' Design Award itself; we need to craft each content in a way to include a call for entries and call for action to take part in the A' Design Award for the sake of sustainability and continuity of the A' Design Award programme.

In the end, we would like to inquire if we can run up to 10 (ten) sponsored posts, content segments and/or editorial articles for our call for entries and results announcement of award winning designs at your media. We ask you to write the articles or prepare the content yourself to ensure that the end-content matches the tastes and style preferences of your audience.

What we offer in return to Press Partners?
(1) Monetary compensation or financial support: We will pay you money for publishing or preparing content in advance but we will also ask you to make a proper invoice; we will discuss the amount together. (2) Press Partner Benefits such as nomination tickets, press partnership certificate and merchandise kit. (3) The Prestige and possibility to become an A' Design Award juror. (4) Cross-promotion; publishing and promoting you as our Press Partner; sharing your articles with our audience, promoting in our newsletter, social media and press partners page etc.

Post Title : Top 20 A' Design Award Winners

1. Content / Comments: This is a round-up content that features top 20 A' Design Award winners from various years. You can focus on a specific category or you can feature winners from all or a selection of categories. Our aim with this content is to honour the very best artists, architects and designers once again by featuring their work.
2. Please start the content by a paragraph that explains the A' Design Award. To communicate the scope and structure of the award, we believe you will benefit highly from five pages; Call for Entries, Results Announcement, The Jury, Award in Numbers and the Design Prize.
3. You can get a brief about the competition at our call for entries page, this brief also includes editorial text that you could use to communicate or explain the competition: https://competition.adesignaward.com/call-for-entries.html
4. You can learn about last edition results as well as access more editorial copy that explains the design accolade at Results Announced page: https://competition.adesignaward.com/results-announced.php
5. The Jury page could be relevant to communicate the quality of the award, because a large, qualified design award jury ensures the competition is prestigious, fair as well as relevant:  https://competition.adesignaward.com/jury.html
6. The Award in Numbers page could further be used to communicate the scope of the competition. We got some great numbers here: https://competition.adesignaward.com/in-numbers.php
7. The Design Prize page is also very relevant to prospective participants and designers. A' Design Award promises one of the World’s largest design prize in terms of publicity and advertising for its laureates, in addition to dozens of freebies and gifts to laureates. https://competition.adesignaward.com/design-prize.html
8. For us, the initial explanation of the design award is really important because while we organize one of the World’s leading design accolades and spend almost all our budget on advertising and promoting our laureates, we do not have a proper channel to communicate our own qualities, and we believe this content is an opportunity for us to also explain what A' Design Award is about, so we truly need your support to help us communicate the good values embedded within the A' Design Award.
9. That being said, the remaining part is simple: If possible please visit http://designmag.org which lists winners from various years and please choose 20 design award winners to feature. If you need high-resolution images for these award winning designs, you could get press accreditation here at https://competition.adesignaward.com/press-manual.php getting press accreditation is indeed a very good idea as you will also receive gifts every year together with a list of our latest laureates!
10. When featuring winners please provide a link to the design page at A' Design Award whenever possible, please also always mention the name of the design as well as the designer, some publications just feature designs but we should also put the designers’ names because the value of the content increases for our laureates if their names are featured; this way interested parties could reach out to laureates and we could create value for our winners.
11. We absolutely trust on your editorial capacity for all text and selection of the designs. We truly believe in meritocracy, please feature only the designs that you think are good and great match for your publication. We do not want to send a list of our favourites because we believe in equal opportunity and we want to be fair to all participants.
12. Finally, please include a link & call to action at the beginning and/or at the end of the content that states that the competition is now open for entries. https://competition.adesignaward.com/call-for-entries.html
13. Please also include a link & call to action at the beginning and/or at the end of the content that says that the registrations can be made at https://competition.adesignaward.com/registration.php
14. Please also include a link & call to action at the beginning and/or at the end of the content that and that: You would feature a selection of best projects on May 1st at your publication once the results are made public.
15. This post should be in the newsletter and stay permanently as a post.
16. Last but not least, sincerely, thank you very much for your valuable time and efforts for both reading this lengthy brief as well as featuring our laureates, please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any help or materials.
