Attention, designers—mark your calendars because the 2018 Core77 Design Awards will officially be open for entry on January 9! Now in its eighth year, the Core77 Design Awards continues to champion the principles of inclusivity, innovation, and excellence. Our annual collection of awarded projects have solidified the awards as a showcase of groundbreaking design over the years, granting awards to successful products such as the Nest Thermostat, the Biolite Stove, the Oculus Rift VR Headset and much more.
In recognition of the broad spectrum of the design field, our Awards program offers 14 distinct categories, each further broken into dedicated sections for professionals and students. Each category is judged by esteemed Jury Captains and their chosen team members, which grants designers the opportunity to present their work to the best of the best in their respective fields. Past Core77 Design Awards Jury Captains have included industry leaders such as Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia, Project H founder Emily Pilloton, and LAYER design lead Benjamin Hubert.
Here are just a few of the projects that took home awards last year:
Suzy Snooze is a smart nightlight that also acts as a sleep trainer and a baby monitor. The product is built to grow with the child.
Montana State University's "Farm to Market" course took home the Design Education Initiatives award last year for its educational ingenuity—in this class, students from industrial design, graphic design, and business backgrounds were teamed up with farmers around the state to tackle problems related to farm food waste and using design thinking, figure out how to turn the waste into a profitable product.
Smart Design's design of the apparatus used by the startup Simprints allows the globalization of more advanced medical technology, even in developing countries. With Simprints, doctors around the world can more easily and intuitively identify an individual's medical records to ensure accurate medical treatment.
Blink is a physical-to-digital experience that allows families with sick children to communicate through the language of light when separated during medical treatment.
VOLTA is a stealth an elegant e-bike equipped with features such as anti-theft GPS tracking and smart lighting.
In addition to being recognized as an outstanding designer in your field, winners of the Core77 Design Awards receive personal feedback from design leaders, exposure to large media audiences, and are awarded a coveted Design Awards trophy. To reflect the multitude of people involved in shaping winning designs, the Core77 trophy was crafted as a tool for recognition, both symbolically and literally. As a functional mold, the trophy can be used to manufacture additional casts, allowing each member of the team to be individually honored for their contribution.
