iF Design Award 2002--Concepts

---

iF is increasingly developing into a brand, and the benefits from winning an iF design continue to grow. Many people who view design as a business factor unquestionably consider the iF awards to be the most important design contest in the world. The iF design awards help promote the image of designers and manufacturers. They are an outstanding marketing instrument, and are the consumer's assurance of above-average quality. Compete for an iF design award, and let an iF label draw attention to your design expertise as a trademark with a winning impact on your customers. Winners receive an iF certificate as visible evidence of their success. In addition, the top contestants will be awarded a "Design Oscar" i.e. an iF Gold or Silver Award. In recent years, these trophies were designed by different big-name designers; in the future, they will be based on a sculpture created by Herbert Schulte in 1997. The iF design award has been opened up for students as a way of promoting young talent and introducing students to international design standards at an early stage. The relevant contest category is called "Concepts" and, as an additional incentive, prize money of EUR 25,000 will be awarded. Because, after all, being one of the best is something to celebrate!

Jury
The Jury In a closed selection procedure lasting from 7 to 9 November 2001, a team of internationally recognized design experts will decide whether you are among the iF Design Award winners. Individuals may not serve on the jury on more than two successive occasions. If a member of the jury is directly involved in one of the entries that have been submitted, he/she will not be entitled to vote, and will leave the jury when it discusses and votes on the entry in question. Strict evaluation criteria ensure that the iF Design Award complies with all design-relevant requirements. All you need to do is to wait until 30 November 2001, when we will send you written notification of the jury results. As in the case of the photo selection, the jury's decision will be legally binding, and no legal recourse is possible. Organizational overhead charge for jury assessment There is no overhead organizational charge for the Communication Design or Concepts categories.
