Core77 Launches Design Awards Program

There’s a new design award in town (and by “town,” we mean Earth). Today our friends at Core77 are launching their own global program to celebrate outstanding creative work in 15 categories ranging from products and graphic design to DIY efforts and “Never Saw the Light of Day,” honoring projects completed, but killed, in 2010. “We’ve re-thought a lot of the elements of the design award model, and believe we’ve got a good recipe—one that expands categories, leverages online scale, increases transparency, and decreases plane fuel in the process,” wrote Core77’s Allan Chochinov in an e-mail.
