Submission to the Faces of Design Awards is possible only through the Faces of Design website.

Submission takes the following steps:

1. Free registration on Faces of Design

2. Payment of the Entry Fee.

Upon receipt of payment, you gain the right to join the Awards Group on Faces of Design. Awards Group members enjoy the following benefits:

• Receiving tips and advice on how to best present your profile and portfolio, to maximise your chances of winning the Faces of Design Awards;

• Visibility on who else is participating;

• The opportunity to clarify issues or questions in direct dialogue with the Faces of Design Awards team.

Membership of the Awards Group substantially increases your chances in the competition; early registration is therefore highly recommended. This also means that you benefit from an attractive early bird discount on the Entry Fee (see Entry Fees).

3. Creating an online profile and portfolio for the first evaluation round of registered participants on Faces of Design, in time for the submission deadline on December 15th.

Select candidates are then shortlisted based on the Evaluation Criteria.

4. In the final step, the short listed candidates are invited to craft a printable PDF using templates provided, demonstrating their best work for the second evaluation round.

The winner's templates will form the basis of the final publication distributed to over 1,000 key decision-makers and opinion leaders in design worldwide.

In the winners' publication, candidates are distinguished as follows:

• Winner (awarded based on the total number of Panel votes received)

• Special Mention (by personal selection of one or more Panel members)

The publication will also distinguish between students and design professionals.

Please note:

We will notify shortlisted candidates by December 21st, 2009, and winners in the week starting January 25th, 2010.

All texts that form part of a candidate’s submission must be in English.

All designs must be the entrant’s own original work. Submissions may include designs currently in production, and previously published and exhibited projects, provided that these do not violate the Use of Materials by Faces of Design and Other Award Rules.
