Interior Design Awards and Competitions, Part Two

Interior design awards and competitions are a great way for your small business or sole proprietorship to get the notice and recognition it deserves! In this article, we’ll be looking at some of the major interior design awards and competitions available from all around the world!

The 2010 First Faces of Design Awards

The First Faces of Design competition is judged on the existing portfolios of interior designers, and ends with the publication of a printed book, highlighting the twenty five best and brightest interior designers, separated by specific design discipline. The printed volume will be sent to over one thousand top decision makers at over three hundred firms, including companies such as IKEA, Montblanc, Cartier, vitra, and Chloe. Top design studios Bouroullecs and Campanas are also included in the volume distribution, as are the biggest names in design press.
Round one of the Faces of Design Awards involves presenting your portfolio to judges online. The second round involves being judged by a very high-profile panel of experts. The winners of the Faces of Design Awards get to see their portfolios published and sent to key decision makers and opinion leaders in the entire global world of design. 
There is a fee to enter, but students are given a special discount. All in all, this design competition seems less promising than others – the value of the book seems limited at best, and the fees for entry seem to go against the spirit of the awards. How will you collect the best and brightest new faces of design if you’re going to erect a financial hurdle to involvement in the first place? In any case, this award is worth considering, as you’ll likely come to your own conclusions about the value of this award.

The Art of Applied Design Awards

The DHM Digital Gallery hosts the Art of Applied Design Awards, a juried international competition celebrating designers working in fiber, clay, metal, wood, plastic or glass. These awards are notable for their entry criteria: all works submitted to the awards need to be completely functional objects one would commonly find used within an interior space. Examples include utensils, furnishings, fixtures and containers. Objects that serve no other purpose beyond decoration are not at all eligible for entry.
The deadline for entry is July 15th, 2010, so hurry up and get your entries in, interior designers!
