Awards recognise and reward efforts, differentiate quality of achievements and grant visibility. This competition, open to Europe-based communication design agencies, studios and freelancers, speaks volumes about quality achievements.
The ED-Awards are unique in their field, acknowledging the best of graphic design, illustration and digital design in the European continent.
ED-Awards receive the widest publicity in the design awards field, as they are based on a network of design media, and their most qualified jury is made up by representatives of the most important print and digital design publications in Europe.
