Melbourne Design Awards 2012
The Melbourne Design Awards represent the diversity and culture of the Melbourne design industry.
Melbourne as a recognised global design city, features both local and international design activity, and the shortlisted entries represent an annual snapshot of the sophisticated design culture in the Melbourne marketplace.
Already in the short history of the Awards, we've seen the entries from the top 50 designers in Melbourne and this years' program gives another opportunity for professional designers, design commissioners and brand managers to have their design works recognised.
Join us for a celebration of the people that create and commission design, and who promote and engage in all aspects of design.
Presented by design100.
