Earlier this week, we released the complete schedule of live announcements for this year's Core77 Design Awards. It's been a long time coming, but considering the breadth and depth of the entries this year, we wanted to ensure that the jury teams have had enough time to review each and every last submission. Now that each of the 17 teams is ready to share its selections and the announcement schedule is nailed down, we want to make sure that you tune in to the broadcasts next week, when they announce the winners!

No matter where you live, there are going to be some early announcement times. Don't let that scare you off—while catching the live winner announcements should be a no-brainer, we came up with five additional reasons why you've gotta watch:

• You'll be the first to know. It's like the Oscars (kind of). Hear about the ground-breaking projects our juries chose as the best of the best before anyone else.
• We've got a real set made by real professionals. We're stepping it up a notch this year. You'll be guided through the various categories and live winner announcements from our esteemed jurors from behind a thoughtfully curated desk.
• Because it's way more exciting to set your alarm for an award than work. Enough said. With an opportunity to drink your coffee in your pajamas and possibly hear someone from Sweden accolade your work, how could you not?
• You might be a winner. With over 17 categories, there's a good chance you might hear your name in the corral of honorees if you submitted your work. There's nothing like the sweet sound of design success to get your day (or night... or afternoon) off to the right start.
• You can see people live from 15 different cities all over the world. Because haven't we all wondered how the other hemisphere lives?
