A' Design Award and Competition

Prime Editions
Prime Editions is the name we give to ultra premium hardcover print publications, especially special edition books published by DesignerPress, with highly selective contents, in collaboration with Museo del Design and A' Design Award & Competition, mostly anthologies and monographs, highly focused on a single subject, such as a single industry, a design category, a geographical area or a designer, yet featuring award-winning designs from multiple years.

Eligible Platinum, Gold and Silver winners of A' Design Award & Competition have a potential possibility and prospects to get included in the Prime Editions. Eligible A' Design Award laureates will have the unique and special opportunity get books solely dedicated to them, as in Designer Prime Editions or Designer Signature Prime Editions.

Prime Editions are different from the coveted A’ Design Award Yearbook of Best Designs that feature award-winning Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Iron Designs from all categories in a single year. Prime Editions do not feature explanatory text, instead Prime Editions are profusely illustrated, noteworthy monographs with high quality color reproductions showing original design work.

Artwork in its Own Right
When it comes to Prime Editions, the extra-large, super-premium, limited-edition coffee table books featuring the most excellent content from the grandmaster designers, artists and architects, the planning and production process is given the utmost importance to properly and perfectly represent the featured works; the importance of the feel of the book, how the book touches the skin and appeals to the eye, how the book creates a positive sensation matter for us; every and each aspect is thought of, starting with the difference between backlighting and reflected light, and ending with its final presentation and packaging. Prime Editions books are produced in cooperation with OMC² Design Studios, the affiliated office for design and image processing to ensure the greatest attention to details; high-fidelity color reproduction and rich gamut printing, well-constructed binding, beautiful layout, typography, kerning and all other details are considered. Similar to art books, coffee table books and photobooks, in Prime Editions, visual elements, graphics and photographs make a significant contribution to the overall content and thus greatest attention is given to color accurate quality printing. Heavy, opaque, acid-free, pH buffered, sturdy archival papers are selected for printing. Since Prime Editions are designed to be collectible, special attention is given to presentation and long-term conversion is equally thought of.

Different from A' Design Award Winner Yearbooks
Good to Know: Prime Editions are different from A' Design Award Yearbook of Best Designs. Every year, the A' Design Award & Competition publishes its winners within print edition, hardcover versions of its yearbook in multiple volumes, these yearbooks of best designs cover a wide-range of correlated categories and feature award-winning designs of Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Iron A' Design Award laureates in a single year, on the other hand the Prime Editions may include works from different years and the subjects of the books are more focused. Learn more about A’ Design Award Yearbook of Best Designs.

Why Called Prime Editions?
There are two reasons, first of all, as you may imagine, A’ Design Award is read as A-Prime Design Award, and thus the “Prime Editions” makes logical sense, however the actual reason why we chose “Prime Editions” to represent these books is different. In the art world, if an artwork exists in several versions, the one known or believed to be the earliest is called the “prime version”. Artists and designers often make variations and versions of their initial work, and it is regarded as a matter of importance both by art historians and the art market to establish which version has "priority", that is to say was the original work. The presumption usually is that the prime version is the finest, and perhaps the most carefully done, though some later versions can be argued to improve on the originals. We believe that our “Prime Editions”, our well-crafted, ultra-premium, extra-large, carefully curated, engineered and high quality printed, outstanding photobooks of World's most excellent designs, art and architecture are our original work, our master piece, our “prime version” when it comes to creating truly sensational, beautiful, photobooks featuring the most excellent and outstanding arts, architecture, design, that will define a series of future books and publications by us as well as other design institutions, design awards, competitions and government initiatives, to serve as a basis of how to properly and respectfully represent, promote and disseminate good design.

Get Featured in Prime Editions
To get yourself featured and your work published in Prime Editions, or especially if you wish to have a whole book dedicated to you such as in Designer Signature Prime Editions, you need to be a multiple, multi-year winner of A’ Design Award & Competition, preferably with Platinum, Gold and Silver level designs. A’ Design Award, at its sole discretion, may make a decision to publish a book only dedicated to you as a designer, yet inclusion in other Prime Editions is much easier. In general, A’ Design Award & Competition will include and feature top ranked designers and their excellent designs, especially Platinum and Gold award-winning works as part of Category Prime Editions, Locality Prime Editions, and Category 𝑥 Locality Prime Editions. Inclusion to Category Prime Editions, Locality Prime Editions, and Category 𝑥 Locality Prime Editions is mostly a processed fully managed by A’ Design Award; A’ Design Award will start an edition, then present the designers whose works would be included within that Edition, prototype pages. Designers will have time to reject their prototype pages and/or opt-out of Prime Editions fully. If the Designers do not reject their pages and/or opt-out of Prime Editions, the prototype pages will pass to design office for final design and then pass to DesignerPress for finalization. Platinum and Gold award-winning works are highly likely candidates for publishing and getting featured in Prime Editions. Designers who wish to have their award-winning works to be included will also require to provide a valid license and declaration for use of their images and photographs as part of Prime Editions. While Category Prime Editions, Locality Prime Editions, and Category 𝑥 Locality Prime Editions participation is rather easy when you have Platinum and Gold award-winning works the Designer Prime Editions and Designer Signature Prime Editions are more personalized and requires a personal touch, if your portfolio is selected to be featured and published as a Designer Edition and/or Designer Signature Edition, A’ Design Award will assign a supervisor to your book and the supervisor will get in touch with you to ensure you have a book that is relevant to you. In general, designers featured in Designer Edition and/or Designer Signature Edition will have control over the cover, dusk jacket and are able to propose additional pages and/or content for inclusion, while for the Category Prime Editions, Locality Prime Editions, and Category 𝑥 Locality Prime Editions, the content, page layout, cover and packaging design are all provided by A’ Design Award & Competition to ensure a common graphic language and consistent identity.
