Now in its 27th year, the annual SEGD Global Design Awards Program was established in 1987 to recognise the highest standards in environmental graphic design. The program illustrates the pandisciplinary nature of visual communications in the built environment and its important role in providing context, a strong sense of place, and navigational aids through complex human-made environments.
Environmental graphic design is increasingly cross-disciplinary, often created by collaborative teams working to activate and organize the places where people live, work, play, gather, and learn.
Awards are conferred by multidisciplinary international juries. Entries are encouraged from any application that can benefit from graphic communications:
• Dynamic Environments
• Office/Workplace Environments
• Leisure/Entertainment Environments
• Educational/Institutional Environments
• Transportation Environments
• Retail/Commercial Environments
• Residential Environments
• Urban Projects
• Exhibitions
• Trade Shows/Temporary Events
• Master Plans/Planning/Research
• Miscellaneous
There is no limit on the number of projects that can be entered by an individual or firm. Projects must have been completed between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2013. Projects can be submitted by SEGD members and non-SEGD members.
