Call for Nominations National Design Awards
Deadline: December 9, 2013 (ONLINE)
Call for Nominations
National Design Awards
Smithsonian
Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum
New York, NY
Announcement of Honorees: by June 2014
The defining criteria of the National Design Awards are excellence, innovation, and enhancement of the quality of life.
2014 National Design Awards Timeline
Nomination Deadline: December 9, 2013
Submission Deadline: February 7, 2014 (Nominees will be contacted in late December 2013 with submission guidelines.)
Announcement of Honorees: by June 2014
Nominations & Submissions
Each fall, the process begins with an open call for nominations, which are solicited from leading designers, educators, journalists, cultural figures, corporate leaders, and design enthusiasts from every state in the nation. Nominees are invited to submit materials for the jury’s review according to specifications provided by the National Design Awards office. Submissions generally consist of resumes, design statements, portfolios of work, and professional-quality visual samples.
Eligibility
Eligibility is restricted to citizens or long-term residents of the United States. Firms, corporations, or institutions must have their corporate headquarters in the United States and must have been established for a minimum of seven years. Individual nominees must have been practicing professionally for a minimum of seven years; Lifetime Achievement nominees must have been practicing professionally for a minimum of twenty years. Winners of a National Design Award in a Design Category will be eligible for the Lifetime Achievement, Design Mind, or Corporate and Institutional Achievement categories ten years of receiving their award. Cooper-Hewitt employees and trustees and their families and household members are not eligible. Awards are given for a body of realized work, not for any specific project.
Jury Process
The jury meets over a two-day period to thoroughly review every submission and consider each nominee, with the challenging task of determining the work that best embodies the Awards’ mission. The jurors assess portfolios in terms of the works’ relationship to and impact on contemporary daily life. Extraordinary originality in identifying, shaping, and solving problems is highly valued, and nominees whose work significantly broadens the conventions of their discipline, introduces formal innovation, and exhibits consistently high levels of imagination and insight are given special consideration. Finally, in keeping with Cooper-Hewitt's definition of design as a force of change, the extent to which the general public has benefited from the explorations and achievements of the nominee is weighed.
The jury is briefed by the Museum staff on the mission of and review criteria for the Awards, but Museum staff does not participate in the selection process. Jurors are asked to base their decisions primarily on the core criteria: excellence, innovation, and enhancement of the quality of life. They are also asked to consider the broad spectrum of the design community—geographically, culturally, and artistically. All jury deliberations are kept confidential.
Award Categories: Reflecting the ever-growing scope of design, the National Design Awards now includes ten jury-selected award categories.

Two Deadlines: (POSTMARK)
December 22, 2010 [Early Deadline[
January 9, 2011 [2nd Deadline]
Call 4 Fashion Designers and Visual Artists
Toronto Alternative Arts and Fashion Week 2011
Toronto
April 25-29, 2011
Toronto Alternative Arts and Fashion Week is looking for contemporary fashion designers and visual artists to showcase their work for the upcoming festival in April 2011.
From contemporary fashion to street wear, to experimental ideas and avant-garde collections, Toronto Alternative Arts and Fashion Week features over 50 runway shows from the best emerging and established, national and international designers, setting the standard for a new era of cutting edge presentations on the catwalk.
Toronto Alternative Arts and Fashion Week exhibits photography, short films, videos and large projections from over 100 emerging and acclaimed, national and international artists annually. In addition, we showcase cutting-edge, dynamic and forward-looking performances from performance artists, fashion designers and dancers along side sculptures, installations and large multimedia art works that reflect on the notion of the body, clothing and fashion.
We are currently accepting proposals in:
Fashion Design
Photography
Video
Performance Art
Installation/ Sculpture
Music
• Submitted proposals should reflect on the notion of clothing, the body, fashion and the 2011 theme “Fashion Schematics”
Thematic Approach:
The 2011 theme “Fashion Schematics” explores the messages, systems, schemes, symbols and concepts inherent in the notion of fashion, through photography, video, fashion design, performance, installation and music. The festival will look at the ways we create visual dialogues and make sense of the world through fashion and creative expression. “Fashion Schematics” will examine how we build the systems in which we function, the strategies we use in creating our identities and the messages we convey through codes, currencies and narratives.
