Head of 4Creative Alice Tonge is judging this year’s Design Week Awards

Our independent 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.

Everything is new this year, including the awards ceremony, which will be a more informal party thrown at a leading museum on Exhibition Road, London, where winning work will be shown in a gallery format and the event will be more accessible and much cheaper to attend. You can read about all the changes we’ve made here.
