FAQ Entry #289

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.

#289: I am not sure in which category should my project be. I would be grateful to know if it is possible to submit one design in several categories.

You can submit the same design to multiple categories, however for each category you should make the presentation specific to that category by choosing different images and by providing relevant text. I.e. If you decide to submit a design to multiple categories, create new submissions and prepare different presentations for them. You might also need to nominate multiple times. Thus it is indeed usually better to submit a design to only one specific category, however there have been many projects in the past that had successfully be submitted and even won multiple categories. On the other hand, If you are not sure about which category to nominate, simply nominate to any one of the categories your project matches, in case the jury would consider that your design would fit a different category it will be moved to that particular category, furthermore you might also receive prior feedback from the preliminary jury about which category to nominate.
