Accolades

To win the Australian International Design Award of the Year is to receive the highest achievement of design excellence available through the Australian International Design Awards. If, in the opinion of the judges, one Australian International Design Award recipient presents itself as an example of outstanding, world-class design over and above all other Award winners that year, it is presented with this top accolade. This accolade represents a unanimous decision made by an independent panel of leading design experts. The panel might also choose to highlight a small group of nominees for this top accolade.
