2012 Art of Design awards close 23 July

The competition, which recognises design excellence and aims to inspire original thinking, big ideas, paper usage and beautiful presentation, was launched nationally during June 2011.

The theme, 'Paper loves Design' is incorporated in the entry kit, which consists of a black presentation box 'made with love' (additional employment was created because of the handwork), containing the 'Paper Loves You' brochure and three of the 12 'Posters of Design'.The remaining nine posters will be hand delivered to the design industry over the next 12 months to ensure inspiration to enter remains high.

Prizes

Caroline Coughlan (Antalis), Richard Johnson (Neenah Paper) and Dave Haldane (MD Antalis)

Judging criteria includes innovation, creativity, appropriateness and whether all of the design elements are well crafted and supported by good print quality. The 2012 Grand Prix prize includes a trip to New York worth R50 000, as well as the opportunity to design the new Art of Design theme. The student category first prize is R5000.
