Designers Institute of New Zealand is calling all graphic, interactive, product and spatial designers to enter their top designs for this year’s Best Awards.

Esteemed judges from both New Zealand and across the ditch will decide the winners of the coveted design pins.

Speaking to the institute’s commitment to up and coming designers, DINZ has invited three design schools to each enter two students asking them to create a promotional campaign for the awards.

DINZ CEO Cathy Veninga tells us there’s a really strong involvement in getting Australian designers to enter this year.

“We enter many of our design awards overseas, so we’re encouraging our neighbours to do the same. We’re really putting a spotlight on Australasian design. I’m expecting a lot of fabulous entries.”
