This articles explores empirical research on why Designers Do Not Join Awards | ||||||||||||||||||
Why Designers Do Not Join Awards However unfortunately not all design awards are organized good enough. This research covers several insights and points that put off participants. All design awards, competitions and contests could benefit from the insights here to improve their offering. We are listing the issues without divulging further into the subjects as they are mostly self-explanatory. 1) Lack of Relevant Design Award Category 2) Obscure Entries or Results Not Published Online 3) Just 1 Award Given Regardless of Number of Entries or Only 1 Winner Limitation for A Category 4) Low percentage of Winners 5) No Known Names 6) Too Specific 7) Number of Entrants 8) High Costs of Entry or High Awarding Costs 9) Calibre of Winners 10) Low Advertising 11) Insufficient Jury 12) Niche Participant Group There are of course many more issues, but for a design award to become a good design award, the organizers should investigate the points that create friction for designers; the goal of the organizer should be to ensure that designers could partake in the award program with a free state of mind. To ensure a free state of mind, the competition should be reliable, trustable and must also offer a good value proposition that appeals to the audience at the right price point. |
