IDA International Design Awards 2020 , organized by Farmani Group is one of the most respected design awards and now is calling for entries!


The International Design Awards (IDA) exists to recognize, celebrate and promote legendary design visionaries and to uncover emerging talent in Architecture, Interior, Product, Graphic, and Fashion Design. IDA aspires to draw attention to the iconoclasm of design world wide, conceptualizing and producing great work. Farmani Group assembled IDA as the design sibling of the Annual Lucie Awards for Photography, which has emerged as one of the world’s most prestigious photography awards.
There are 5 main design disciplines:

➜ Architecture design
➜ Fashion design
➜ Interior design
➜ Product design
➜ Graphic design

Submission requirements:

➜ You are required to submit up to 10 images for each design and the brief description of the design, limited to 600 characters.

➜ Entries should include as much detail as possible, including images of each side of the building or environment along with the contextual surroundings. Please include floor and small-scale (8.5” x 11”) site plans showing the project in its context.

Where the project is a group of buildings, entrants should provide a rendering that illustrates the complete project. If the entry concerns an alteration or restoration, please include both “before” and “after” images.
➜ Entries can be submitted as completed, in-process, or conceptual works.
