Sharks Design Awards 2026: Entries Close Oct 30th

We’re excited to announce that this year, Design will once again have its own dedicated space in our Calendar of Events!

Like Advertising, Short Film and Music Video sections, Design and Design Craft now has its own slot in our annual schedule.

This change allows us to concentrate on nurturing and celebrating the amazing craft and talent in this specialist industry, and also empowers us to focus more intently on the Design community and elevate it’s significance in these times of change.
