The AWDA biennial award, at its third edition, is open to all visual communication women designers. The award originates from a dedicated research activity carried out by Aiap (Italian Association of Visual Communication Design), and aims at reconstructing and acknowledging the contribution that numerous visual communication women designers have given and continue to give to Italian graphic design. Participation is open to women designers from all over the world, whose projects produced from 2012 onwards will be selected by an international jury made up of leading figures in the area of design and will later be included in a dedicated publication – the third volume in the AWDA series.
