In 1980, we launched PRINT’s Regional Design Awards competition with a simple goal: to show that outstanding design wasn’t just limited to New York City, and could be found throughout every single region of the United States. For decades, the PRINT RDA was heralded as one of the most prestigious American design competitions, and was a go-to resource for both designers seeking inspiration and creative firms seeking designers. Now, 40 years on, we’re updating and launching a new annual awards program to reflect the fact that outstanding design isn’t just limited to the United States, and can be found in every corner of the globe.
