The 2017 SEGD Global Design Awards, the only international awards program focused on user experiences in the built environment, is now open for entries. 
Since 1987, the SEGD Global Design Awards have set the standard of excellence for environmental graphic design and experiential graphic design, honoring design work that connects people to place by providing direction, content and compelling experiences in public spaces. 


The seven entry categories reflect the core practice areas of experiential graphic design: digital experience content, exhibition, interactive experiences, placemaking and identity, public installation, strategy/research/planning, and wayfinding. Honor and Merit design award winners will be selected from submissions in each of the seven categories. The jurors will also choose a Best of Show Award from the top entries. 


Winning projects have ranged from interactive multimedia environments to complex hospital wayfinding systems and from branded corporate environments to museum exhibitions. Retail and interior projects, architectural signing, public art, design research, and books have also won awards. Students compete along with professionals and often win Merit and Honor awards.

Winners will be honored during the 2017 SEGD Conference, June 8-10 in Miami, as well as on the website and in SEGD's annual design awards publication. The deadline for submissions is January 31, 2017, via SEGD's online design awards entry system. Submissions will be accepted with late fees through February 14, 2017. 
3M is the Presenting Sponsor of the 2017 SEGD Global Design Awards.
