The score is provided by a preliminary jury of expert designers and professionals, who evaluate your work based on its intrinsic design qualities, visualization, and presentation characteristics, and category compliance. We invite you to learn more about what your preliminary score means and how it can help you improve your design and increase your chances of success. We have a dedicated page that explains the Preliminary Score ranges from zero (0) to ten (10) and what they mean, however here we are providing you with a summary. Make sure to read the details to understand better what is Preliminary Score, how is it different from Presentation Score and Preliminary Feedback.

Preliminary Score is a score about the quality of your work, and it shows the potential of your work to win the A' Design Award. The higher the score, the better the potential. For example, indicatively, and there would be variations generally, a Preliminary Score (PS) of 10 would mean your work has potential to obtain a Platinum or Gold A' Design Award. Preliminary Score (PS) of 9 would indicate your work has potential to obtain a Gold or Silver A' Design Award, but could still win Platinum or Bronze, but with less likelihood. Preliminary Score (PS) of 8 would indicate your work has potential to obtain a Silver or Bronze A' Design Award, but the score cannot and will not stop your work from winning Platinum or Gold if the jury awards it; the Grand Jury Panel does not see your scores and vote independently, the Preliminary Score is our initial, preliminary review of how we think the jurors would score your work. In general, a preliminary score of 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 are good.
