Enter the 2016 ICCA Awards Now
Honouring Design and Creativity in Museums
Message from Corinne Estrada, Managing Director of Agenda and founder of IDCA:
I am delighted to present the sixth edition of the International Design & Communication Awards (IDCA). I created the awards in 2007 to celebrate excellent design and communication initiatives across the art world. The IDCA awards assess communications, design and branding strategies within the arts and museum sphere. They also encourage art organisations to find original and inventive ways to communicate. Over 250 cultural organisations took part in the 2012, 2013 and 2014 editions. The jury members were delighted to witness and celebrate such excellent work in the museum field. The IDCA awards provide a new networking forum for communications and design professionals. Open to cultural institutions across the world, the awards bring together the best international talent.
Applications are open to museums and galleries, foundations, biennales, art centres and other visual arts organisations. Freelancers, advertising and design agencies can also enter under the name of the museum or institution they have worked for with their prior consent.
The International Design and Communication Awards (IDCA) aim to highlight and honor the best communication, design and branding strategies within the art and museum sphere in order to inspire creativity and talent.
An international jury of experts will assess the entries in five different categories:
1. Best Branding Campaign
2. Best Temporary Exhibition Communications
3. Best Scenography
4. Best App
5. Best Website
Applications for the 2016 edition of the awards are open from 30 May to 15 September 2016.
The ceremony will take place in Québec City, 17 November 2016 during the 17th edition of Communicating the Museum.
