THE DESIGN 100 community is made up of three key groups - audience, partnerships and organisation.
 

Audience & Nominees

Without the people who nominate, view, rate and share the nominated design projects we're like a tree falling in the forest, with no one to hear us. The great news is that we have over 40 million helping to make sure that each project is heard, each project is celebrated and all those involved are able to recognized.

Partnerships

We work with industry associations, professional groups and media groups as part of an inclusive celebration. No market is a monolith it takes a range of voices, opinions and initiatives to build a market.

Organisation

Collaboration between experts is how we bring together our programs. Our expert voice comes from leading minds both on the supply side and demand side of design. Our delivery teams are local market experts with detailed knowledge of the special needs of each market, our platform is a global platform that delivers best of breed performance, honed across the largest network of design awards in the world. Most importantly we listen to new ideas, accept new input and appreciate that others will be able to contribute to make the programs even better than they are today.
