Privacy & Publishing Settings

Home > Methodology > Privacy & Publishing Settings
What are the possible privacy and publishing settings for nominated designs?

Privacy and publishing settings determine how much personal information will be available and used in communications, however these settings do not apply for award winning designs, if you want complete privacy you should consider Concealed Category participation.

Please note that you have to choose privacy settings before you are notified of receiving the award in order for them to be effective. There are several settings as explained before. You can access the privacy settings for your design by visiting them from your hidden cabinet. For highest privacy options, consider joining a concealed category.

Privacy and Publishing Settings:

Setting 0
I do not consent to have my personal information and profile published in the traditional press, publications, online media, A' Design Award & Competition communications and press releases. I also herein by declare that the image I have submitted is my personal image and I have all the copyrights to share.

In this case, your design will be published or available online with the designer being an "anonymous participant" if you are a winner. To reinforce this option, please do not upload your personal profile and please do not fill your personal profile completely. If you fill your profile, this option will become void ab initio; i.e. it will not be a valid option since you provide your data, and you cannot change to this setting back afterwards or if you choose this option but later you filled your data, it means you agree to cancel this option and the system will ignore your choice.
