Partnership puts your name inside the programme rather than beside it: on the winner materials, in the ceremony, and next to the work itself.

The parts that mattered

Each of these is about a different piece of how the programme works.

  • Group-scoped results

    The coordinate on the certificate is the part that mattered. It says which contest I actually won, and any designer reading it knows exactly what that means.

    Layla Haddad

    Creative Director, Mizan Studio

  • Declared tiers

    I entered as a student and was ranked against students. That sounds obvious until you have paid to enter somewhere that does not do it.

    Noor Al Shammari

    Student, American University of Sharjah

  • Scores with criteria

    Scores came back with the criteria attached. It is the first awards feedback I have been able to hand to a client.

    Omar Fathi

    Independent designer, Cairo

  • Price held at entry

    I started the entry in the early window and finished it after that window had closed. The price I was quoted at the start is the price I paid.

    Hana Toubia

    Art Director, Beirut

  • One vote, verified

    One vote per project, confirmed by a code sent to your inbox. It is the first public vote I have entered where the number at the end meant something.

    Bilal Amrani

    Designer, Casablanca

  • Every state visible

    I could see where my entry stood at every step, and what had to happen before the next one. I never had to email anyone to ask.

    Sara Nseir

    Design Lead, Amman
