Accessibility is a core criteria in the evaluation of all projects. In addition to this foundational standard, the jury may also give special recognition to projects that demonstrate exceptional innovation or leadership in creating an accessible built environment.
All projects reviewed by the judges will be automatically eligible for the People’s Choice Award. The People’s Choice Award is chosen by Edmontonians and encourages public conversation about good design while promoting the local design community.
This year, Media Art Design Edmonton (MADE) will be supporting students in crafting compelling, well-considered, and visually refined submissions. MADE has compiled a guidebook to help students in preparing their submissions. They are also offering information sessions and individual mentoring to students who would like more feedback before submitting.
To take advantage of this opportunity, please register for a session with MADE.
