The recently launched World Design Rankings ranks all the countries based on the number of designers that have been granted with the design competition A’ Design Award. The idea with WDR is to bring to bring to Design what Olympics is to Sports and to push countries to compete with their designers and innovative ideas.
Winners of the A’ Design Award receive a trophy alongside a host of other benefits: a certificate, inclusion in an exhibition, inclusion in a yearbook publication, winners’ badges, inclusion in the world design rankings, an invite to a gala night hosted by the awards for networking and lot more…See here the full list of benefits.
