DFA Design for Asia Awards 2020

Global Submissions are welcome from 1 April 2020
50% discount on entries until 31 May 2020

HONG KONG, - 15 April 2020 - Design thinking has become more important as the global citizens face new challenges every day. It is increasingly essential to challenge assumptions, redefine problems and identify alternative strategies as well as solutions that make a real impact in society, at a local and international level.

With differences in culture, environment and technology across Asia, designers are bringing new projects and solutions that bring fresh perspectives into the limelight and foster global change are on the rise.

"Design thinking is a catalyst for change, providing new insights and ideas into today's built world through discovery and experimentation. The world is rapidly evolving and everyone needs to participate in change. The Awards are a great honour for designers that have created new means of living, entertainment and communication for Asian markets. We are excited to be able to foster innovative thinking and build creative confidence through our Awards programme," said Professor Eric Yim, Chairman of the HKDC.

Since 2003, the DFA Design for Asia Awards (DFA DFAA) has been celebrating the established and emerging designers from the region that push the creative boundaries to pave the way for the Asian design industry. The 2020 edition of the DFA DFAA opens for global submission from 1 April 2020.

Launched by Hong Kong Design Centre with Create Hong Kong (CreateHK) of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as the lead sponsor, the DFA DFAA recognises design excellence and outstanding designs from the region, covering 4 major design disciplines: Apparel & Accessory Design, Communication Design, Environmental Design and Product & Industrial Design in 23 categories. All projects that propagate Asian values and perspectives in the sphere of innovation and design globally are welcome to enter online.

To show supports and cares to the design community, the entry deadline of DFA Design for Asia Awards is extended to 17 July 2020, and the promotional period is extended to two months giving entrants an extra month to submit entries at a 50% discount from 1 April - 31 May 2020 (Hong Kong time). The revised dates allow entrants to take more time to put entries together, at a lower cost, and to be recognised as the designers to look out for in the region in coming years. (*).
