Finally, an awards ceremony worth keeping up for.  Welcome Design Awards 2010!  The Annual Design Awards (ANNDAS) is hosting it’s first ever Design Awards 2010 – sponsored by some of the best known names on the internet such as Icon Finder, Envato, GSI Corp and Photoshop Roadmap – just to name a few is an award like no other.

The Annual Design Awards (ANNDAS) is going to be global recognition of the most visually stimulating “best of the best”.  The group is really thinking of everything with this Award.  With keeping the fee to a reasonable amount of just over $15 USD per single entry (or 10 GPB) and just over $93 USD for multiple entries (or 60 GPB) – this opens the doors for some excellent opportunities for anyone to enter.  Not only does each applicant get featured in the new Designers Directory, but also have a chance to feature in the yearly book that will be published to showcase the best designs and also have access to the website notice board where you can promote your own business – as one example.

Some of the key points judges will be looking for is Creativity and Effectiveness.  But also, if you are entered in the Website Categories – judges will also be looking for usability.

With several categories to enter and several awards to be given – it is a designer’s dream.  Categories include but not limited too Best Logo Design, Best Book Cover Design, Best Digital Art and Designer of the Year Award plus many more.  In addition to that, the ANNDAS will also be handing out awards to outstanding contributions, judges will award those most creative individuals with an “Excellence in Design Accolade” amongst other ‘special’ awards.  All finalist will feature in numerous promotions and media coverage and will also gain GLOBAL – yes – I said GLOBAL – respect within the industry as well as receiving promotional tools and an AWESOME trophy!

Entries must be submitted before 4/22/10 and winners will be announced 6/22/10.

Portions of the profits will go to benefit the Cancer Research UK.  So what are you waiting for?
