Your chance to vote

Mary Lewis presided over the judging session that yielded these five graphics contenders for the 1996 BBC Design Awards. Now it’s the turn of the public who caught the screening on BBC2 last night to vote for the official winner.

We’re keen to see how the designers’ selection compares with that, and invite you again to pick your first choice and let us know about it by 24 June, including any comments. If you think there’s a project that’s been overlooked here, let us know about it.

This is the last showing of design hopefuls on the Beeb, following its trawl for votes for product design and architecture/ environments winners. Its final programme on the winners will be broadcast on BBC2 at 7.30pm on Monday 8 July.

Our final showing will be published on 12 July, and will compare the public choice with that of our readers. If you haven’t yet submitted your votes for any of the three categories in the Design Week poll, do so now. All the contenders are listed below.

Convey your winners to Amanda Lake. Tel: 0171-439 4222 or fax 0171-734 1770 by 24 June. Or you can send E-mail to lyndark@centaur.co.uk. Brief comments are welcome – as are nominations of projects completed over the past 12 months but not included in the BBC trawl.
