| THE INTERNATIONAL 2002 INDUSTRIAL DESIGN EXCELLENCE AWARDS COMPETITION Presented by the Industrial Designers Society of America Sponsored by BusinessWeek Magazine |
|||||
| The Goal The Industrial Design Excellence Awards are dedicated to fostering business and public understanding of the importance of industrial design excellence to the quality of life and the economy. Winning the IDEA is a distinction like no other that brands your design as the very best in the business, among your peers, among your clients, among consumers around the world. Publicity & Exposure As the sponsor, BusinessWeek magazine annually features the winners in a June editorial report, which is distributed worldwide. All the Gold, Silver and Bronze winners are listed either in the magazine or on its Web site, www.businessweek.com, as well at IDSA's site, www.idsa.org. Hundreds of newspapers and networks, including CNN, NBC, PBS, CNBC, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post and design press, pick up the IDEA story each year. The winners will be showcased in IDSA's annual Yearbook of Industrial Design Excellence, which publishes case studies written by the Gold winners themselves. The Yearbook is distributed internationally to business executives, business schools, federal officials and designers. Recognition We welcome you to replicate the IDEA logo on your packaging, advertising and merchandising materials. Follow the example set by Thomson Multimedia Inc., Fiskars, OXO Good Grips, IBM, Canon, Ford, Samsung and a legion of design firms, all of which have used the mark to promote their award-winning designs.

It's as Easy as 1-2-3 That's rightĄtaking the first step toward winning an IDEA is just that simple. There's no secret club or mysterious formula-all you have to do is follow these three easy stepsĄand you could be on your way to prestige and recognition as an IDEA 2002 winner. Figure out what to enter Believe it or not, this step can be the hardest one, and not just because you have done such fantastic work. You would be amazed how many people are disqualified on eligibility. Who: Any US citizen or permanent resident can enter IDEA. Non-residents may enter if the entry has been distributed or meant for distribution in North America. Students must attend a US college or university. The one exception: designers employed by offices-and students attending schools-represented on the jury may not enter this year. What: Designs for practically any commercial product may be entered. The 49 subcategories run the gamut from little desk doodads to giant mechanical equipment. The special Design Explorations category even makes it possible to enter work that will never be produced. Where: Work may be intended for any market, unless the chief designer is not a resident/citizen of the US. Non-residents may submit only designs created for North American distribution Eligibility Rules* 1. All entries must have been placed into distribution between February 14, 2000, and February 11, 2002.

Design Exploration and Student entries must have been submitted to school or client for evaluation in the eligibility time frame and Environment entries must have been opened to the public in that timeframe. Any entries in production categories that are found not to be in distribution, per these rules, will be disqualified.
