DCAAWARD CRITERIA
We are increasingly living our lives in the digital realm but the way in which we interact with the world is still firmly rooted in the physical environment. As many physical brand experiences are now frequently augmented by digital brand experiences, the DCA Futures Award will be looking to recognise design concepts that appropriately balance both.
We will be particularly interested in seeing designs that address issues such as sustainability, where service meets artefact and eco-affordability.
