Design Week Awards 2019 judges revealed…
Experts on branding (Jack Renwick), social design (Sophie Thomas), exhibition design (Lucienne Roberts) are joined by Ustwo design director Helen Fuchs, The Guardian’s digital director Ben Longden and many more.
We’re happy to announce our biggest ever judging panel for the Design Week Awards, which will see 28 independent experts come together to find winners for our new format awards.
This year’s judges include Jack Renwick Studio founder Jack Renwick, Priestmangoode associate director Son Tran, Ustwo design director Helen Fuchs, Afroditi Studios founder Afroditi Krassa and Guardian digital design director Ben Longdon.
Our judges have been chosen for their expertise in particular categories, which fall under four main sections — Communication, Spaces, Products and Furniture, and Landmark. This year we’ve added new categories and rethought old ones, which means there are more chances to win. You can have a look at them all here.

You can read about all the changes we’ve made here.
