The competition, an annual showcase of excellence in graphic, spatial, product and interactive design, has been run by the Designers Institute of New Zealand since 1988.

With 514 finalists, there are too many to list in this space, so here are Idealog’s favourite finalists (this week) from the categories of graphic, interactive, product and spatial, sans descriptions.
