New award: "FRANZL" honors graphic designers
For the first time, graphic designers from Switzerland are invited to enter their best work in the creative competition - and win one of the "FRANZL" Design Award trophies already coveted in Austria. Entries can be submitted between January 15 and February 28, 2018 in the two categories "Young Designer up to 25" and "Graphic Designer". Those who would like to participate can submit their entry online to the expert jury of the "FRANZL". Especially exciting for young graphic designers: Unlike similar competitions, there is no entry fee. But there are prizes worth a total of 15,000 euros.
Top-class jury evaluates entries
The evaluation is carried out by an independent and top-class jury of experts from Austria and Switzerland under the direction of Raffaele Arturo. Michaela Burger, Creative Director and Member of the Executive Board of Wirz Brand Relations AG, was recruited as the Swiss juror. Evaluation criteria are creativity, relevance and production quality. In addition, an online community voting will run from March 1 to 31, 2018, which will decide the final ranking.

A total of ten trophies will be awarded - two for Swiss and eight for Austrian best performances. All this at the glamorous druck.at gala on April 13, 2018, at the Sofiensälen in Vienna.
