 54th Annual Design ReviewI.D. - International Design Magazine is accepting entries into the 2009 Annual Design Review.Since 1954, the Annual Design Review has recognised the best in product, furniture, graphic and environment design, from the iconic to the obscure.

Beginning this year, the Annual Design Review will also feature a new category for Student Work, replacing the Student Design Review. Students should now enter the competition using the standard Annual Design Review entry form.

The resulting overview is published in the July/August issue of I.D. magazine - the Annual Design Review issue. competition (ended) current design competitions more info www.id-...
