The team behind the Guardian's Berliner relaunch has been nominated for the Designer of the Year award, the design world's equivalent of the Turner or the Booker prize.
It is the first time an editorial design project has been shortlisted for the honour.
Alice Rawsthorn, chair of the jury and director of the Design Museum, which runs the prize, said: "The team behind the Guardian redesign set out to create a model modern newspaper - and they succeeded.
"Unlike some other newspaper format changes, this was not just a shrink-to-fit.
Every aspect of the paper was revitalised and reinvented.
This is an extraordinarily innovative and intelligent way of addressing the commercial challenges of the newspaper industry."
The other shortlisted designers were Jamie Hewlett, the visual genius behind the virtual band Gorillaz; Cameron Sinclair, for his pioneering work with Architecture for Humanity; and Tom Dixon, the innovative furniture designer.
The award seeks to recognise the UK designer or design team that has made most contribution to design in the past year.
Former winners include Jonathan Ive, Apple Computers' head of design.
Mark Porter, the Guardian's creative editor, said: "One of the reasons that it is incredibly gratifying to be nominated is that the jury has acknowledged how much of our work is about usability.
