Excellent design writing, whether commentary, criticism or reportage, is valued very highly here at Core77. So, we are more than excited to announce that the 5th annual Winterhouse Writing Awards for has just opened this year's competition. From the call for entries:
The awards will be given for writing that demonstrates the greatest evidence of eloquence, analysis, perspective, insight and original thinking to further a public understanding of design in contemporary culture. Writing that advances the visual expression of a design program, argument or thesis is also eligible. Entries may address any design discipline or form, including, but not limited to: architectural, environmental, fashion, graphic, industrial, information, interactive, product and strategic.
There are two types of awards: The Writing Award of $10,000 will be awarded to writers, critics, scholars, historians, journalists and designers for a given body of work. The Education Award of $1,000 will be granted to students who write in the interest of making visual work, scholaship or cultural observation.
The deadlines is June 1, 2010. This seems like plenty of time, but it will while away quickly, so read the criteria and get your entries in early.
