Open entry, one standard
A student submission and a studio submission pass the same two-stage review. The technical check looks at file specs, category fit and rights clearance; the jury then scores what is left.
Our story
Interawards exists so that a serious design award does not close itself off to a small circle. Independent studios, in-house teams and students all enter through the same door, across graphic design, packaging, motion, type design and digital craft.
A student submission and a studio submission pass the same two-stage review. The technical check looks at file specs, category fit and rights clearance; the jury then scores what is left.
Every cycle publishes a searchable archive of shortlisted work with jury notes, category rationale and credits. The point is a readable record of what was submitted and how it was judged.
The jury rotates and is made up of practicing designers. No panel sits two cycles in a row, which keeps the scoring from settling into a house style.
Studios in Buenos Aires, Santo Domingo and beyond read the archive to benchmark their own work and to build a submission record over time. The calendar of deadlines and the small printed annual keep that record in hand.
Interawards is an annual awards program and an open entry platform. Independent studios, in-house teams and students all enter through the same door, across graphic design, packaging, motion, type design and digital craft.
Two things come out of every cycle and stay available: a searchable archive of shortlisted work with jury notes, category rationale and credits, and a calendar of deadlines alongside a small printed annual. The point is not a single winner's list. It is a record that keeps growing, readable by anyone who wants to see what was submitted and how it was judged.
Studios, in-house teams and students submit to the same categories. No separate tier, no invitation required to be considered.
A technical check on file specs, category fit and rights clearance comes first. Scoring by a rotating jury of practicing designers comes second.
Shortlisted work is published with jury notes, category rationale and credits, so the reasoning behind a decision stays visible next to the work.
Studios in Buenos Aires, Santo Domingo and beyond use the archive to benchmark work and build a submission record across cycles.
The program runs annually. Each cycle closes on its own cutoff, and the archive grows with it. The practical step is the same every time: review the current categories, then submit a project before the next cutoff.
