Designers can gain visibility through social media, potentially more effective than traditional awards. However, the traditional route of awards still exists for those seeking to grow their clientele. The lengthy and costly nature of award applications, such as fees ranging from $150 to over £300, makes participation challenging for independent designers and small studios. This financial barrier often leads to a competitive landscape favoring well-resourced entrants. The process of submitting applications requires significant time for research, preparation, and case study writing, which can strain small design teams.
The lengthy and costly award process often becomes a burden for independent designers or small studios, limiting their participation in prestigious awards.
Many designers face high application fees, making major design awards financially inaccessible to up-and-coming talent and skewing competition results.
