MANILA – Adobo Design Awards Asia (ADDA) is calling on professionals, freelancers and students to submit their entries in this year’s design competition.
Now on its seventh year, ADAA is considered one of the country’s most prestigious juried competitions for design.
The focus for the 2016 edition will be the Open Category, which calls for entries in various formats. In line with the theme “Designing for a Bold New World,” judges will be looking at designs that push the boundaries of creativity to achieve positive results.
Selected submission formats will be presented by sponsors as special awards – Mobile App for Good by Globe Telecom; T-Shirt by Bench; and Digital Short Film by Power Mac Center, among others.
The deadline for submission of entries is on February 27. More details may be found on the event’s
website.
ADAA will be working with Design and Art Direction, a British educational charity. D&AD president Andy Sandoz will head the jury in this year’s competition.
Other members of the jury include Melvin Mangada, AJ Dimarucot, Dan Matutina, Jowee Alviar, Marcus and Bernie Nada, Benjamin Marasigan, Leigh Reyes, Patrick Cabral, Ric Gindap and Arnold Arre.
Together with Sandoz, the jury members will give short talks on design-related topics during the Adobo Design Series to be held on March 22 at the Mind Museum.
There will also be a Design Masterclass by New York-based Lucille Tenazas, graphic designer and associate dean of the School of Art at Parsons The New School of Design on March 31 at Axon, Green Sun.
“We are extremely proud to be chosen by D&AD to represent their activities in the region and to partner with them in presenting this year’s competition. By raising the standards of excellence, we hope to see a new dose of creativity and innovations in the work we receive from both local and international talents,” said Angel Guerrero, founder and editor-in-chief of Adobo magazine.
