I thought you might be interested in the Interaction category which honors all interactive multimedia and user interface design for websites, mobile devices and experiential installations. Examples include: software, mobile apps, interactive projections, animations, simulations, robotics, etc.
Recognizing excellence in all areas of design enterprise, the Core77 2012 Design Awards sets new standards for design awards with progressive categories, globally distributed juries, dedicated student fields, entrant video testimonials, live jury announcements and a unique trophy.
Categories include: Consumer Products, Equipment, Soft Goods, Furniture & Lighting, Interiors & Exhibitions, Visual Communication, Packaging, Interaction, Service, Transportation, Social Impact, Educational Initiatives, Strategy & Research, Writing & Commentary, Food Design, Speculative and DIY, and all but the last two have lower priced student entry pricing.
In addition, we can offer you a small number of discount codes to the value of 20% off an entry which would reduce the entry fee to $40. You can distribute these to students who did outstanding work in 2011. Please let me know if you would like to take up this offer and I will arrange it with you.
This is an excellent marketing opportunity for your school and program as well as your students. The top Student entries in each category will receive the awards trophy, and Winners, Runners-Up and Notable entries will be displayed on the Core77 Design Awards website, in our awards publication and across Core77 network.
Our entry deadline is April 10, 2012.
