This year, graphic design is very strongly represented in the 2007 Federal Design Competition. Almost half of the prizes went to designers who impressed with their graphic design achievements, as can be seen from the press release issued by the Federal Office of Culture. 206 designers entered the competition. Under the chairmanship of Lorette Coen, the commission awarded prizes to 25 works and projects by 31 designers. The winners can choose between a cash prize worth CHF 20,000, a six-month internship or a studio residency abroad. From October 16, the winning works and projects will be exhibited at the Musée de design et d'arts contemporains in Lausanne. A publication will also be published at this time, presenting both the prize-winning works and the award-winning designers in detail in text and images.
