Australian International Design Awards

Additional categories have been added to the Australian International Design Awards (AIDA) this year, including the awarding of the most innovative and sophisticated design in the service field.

A fixture in the design community for over five decades, the awards have been the launch pad for some of Australia’s most well-known inventions and designs, awarding in previous years the Hills Hoist, the design of the Ute and, most recently, the Deepsea Challenger, a submersible that allowed Director James Cameron to explore previously unreachable ocean depths.

Aligning with VIVID Sydney for the 2013 awards, the AIDA has put together a judging panel and forum of some of the world’s most respected product designers, including representatives from countries including Sweden and USA.

Submissions close on Thursday 28 March 2013, with winners announced on Thursday 30 May 2013.  Entry details are available at www.gooddesignaustralia.com.
