Entries are judged by A' Design Award's jury of hundreds of experts from around the globe including scholars, professionals, and media members. Each jury member is required to sign a jury agreement and follow a code of conduct. This jury process has been designed to lead to a more fair and equitable awards process, with no single juror exercising undue influence on the results of the awards.
