You Win Too!
The Y Design Awards was launched in 2006 to recognize and celebrate leading creative talent demonstrated through the use of digital technology.
The YDA is different to other awards competitions in the digital design industry with most rewarding the senior management of the design agency, or the business itself. The YDA however goes straight to the very heart of winning project by recognizing the individual designers and technicians that bring the concept to life on the web. Without their key contribution, their agency campaigns would never exist, let alone win awards.
The Y Design Awards 2018 invites submissions in all categories up until December 15, 2018, after which time a panel of five expert judges will select the winner for each category. The winners of each category will then be revealed at an exclusive awards party February 2019.
There is a small administration entry fee of $250 per agency and you can enter as many different submissions in as many relevant categories as you see fit. See Entry Details' page for more specific information.
