The results of the red dot award: communication design have been finalised: 6,112 works were submitted to the competition - one of the most important and biggest design competitions worldwide - by communication designers and agencies from a total of 42 countries.
Only 471 works successfully passed the critical assessment of the international top-class jury comprised of 18 designers and design experts, thus receiving the sought- after quality seal.
In addition, the jurors awarded the "red dot: best of the best" for particularly outstanding design quality 56 times.
The winners of the honorary award "red dot: grand prix", which all winners of a "red dot: best of the best" are nominated for, will be announced at the festive awards ceremony on 9 December 2009 in the gala hall of the Casino Zollverein.
The "red dot: junior prize", which comes with a prize money of 10,000 euros, goes to the best student work.
This year, once again a design company or communication agency will receive the honorary title "red dot: design agency of the year" for continuously above-average design achievements.
At two special exhibitions at the red dot design museum from 10 December 2009 to 10 January 2010 the award-winning works as well as excerpts from the creative oeuvre of the "red dot: design agency of the year" will be presented.
