FAQ 


1. Can I submit to more than one category?
Yes, you can submit to as many categories as you like. However, each submission must be done individually, and you must pay the entry fee for each. 

2. Which category should I submit to?
Which ever category you feel best reflects your submission. You can submit to more than one category, if you like (see above). If you are unsure, please contact us.

3. Do I have to come to Vienna if I want to receive my award?
We would love to have everyone come to Vienna, but realize it might not be possible. Award winners will receive their award, regardless of whether or not they are present at the award ceremony.

4. How much does it cost to submit?
120,- Euro per submitted project, (80,- for IIID members), 30,- for entries in the student work category,
Awards costs of 190,- will applied only to the winners and shortlisted projects in all categories except the student works

5. If the awards are posted online, won't the judges know who submitted what? Then the evaluation will no longer be anonymous...
True, but there are a few reasons to do it this way:
a) Promoting the submissions online is one advantage of the IIIDawards and advances awareness about information design and the submissions.
b) Our judges are evaluating the submissions based on defined criteria, which doesn't include how much they like or know about an entrant. We trust that our evaluation team will make their decision based on the quality of the projects, and because short-listed finalists are reviewed by more than one jury member, personal opinion is balanced by the group decision making process.

6. Why a template?
As an informationdesigner we expect that you can describe your project within 2 pages, please use the template, which will enable us to handle a immediate production and handling of the IIIDaward-book. Please answer within the template the following questions:
- What was the challenge?
- What was the solution?
