FAQ Entry #140

This is a respond to a previously asked question about the A' Design Award and Competition. The full list of frequently asked questions can be accessed here.

#140: If we receive an invitation to join the A' Design Competition, would our entry be free of charge? If we were suggested for the A' Design Award, what does it mean?

If you are exclusively invited to join the competition, this means that one of our staff members have seen your work through a medium (such as exhibitions, trade fairs, design blogs etc) and thought that your work or project is well done, elaborated, beautiful, and therefore highly eligible for winning. Invitations are not send by jury members and therefore they do not guarantee winning the award. Invitations also do not grant a free entry, however receiving the invitation is a positive phenomenon as invitations are send only to selected few people or companies that we want to see as a part of the competition. In addition, different than the exclusive invitations which are sent by our staff members, you might also receive a suggestion mail. Suggestions are send by design enthusiasts who uses the A' Design Awards' websites suggest a talent function, in most cases, someone who is familiar with your work, by entering your contact information suggests to you to join the competition.
