The Core77 Design Awards offers individuals or teams the chance to win prizes by participating in a celebratory design program. A series of Honorees (“Winner,” “Runner Up” and “Notable”) will have their work selected from among all completed entries that are submitted. The Honorees are selected by a panel of judges called “Jury Teams” headed up by a “Jury Captain” and have been selected by the Core77 Design Awards. Prizes are administered by the Core77 Design Awards (“Administrator”) 561 Broadway, 6th Floor, New York, NY 10012.
