As you know, around here at AndySowards.com – We like our Designs just as much as we like our Code and Programming.
Which is why I was so excited to hear about the Annual Design Awards next year! First of all, because I Love Awards and Contests that have the ‘Best of the Best’ participating, and the Annual Design Awards is Truly just that. Second of all, It is a great event to help support some good causes, as well as the Design Community and Industry that we all know and love.
So what is The Annual Design Awards?
The Annual Design Awards (nicknamed ANNDAS) is a global recognition of cutting edge visual communications, set up to reward outstanding contribution’s within the Design industry. They have brought together some of the most amazing talents and respected figures from around the world to judge this global event which aims to become the premier design awards and set international standards.
