IDI Awards 2020 Winners
The 21st IDI Awards took place online (due to Covid19 restrictions) on Wednesday, 4th November, 2020. Even though ‘virtual’ it was a wonderful celebration of Irish design and showcased the contribution of over 460 designers & collaborators across Ireland, and Irish designers based abroad.
2020 had the largest amount of entries we have ever had in this long-standing and respected competition. This year also saw a raft of new Special Awards celebrating Education & Research, Design for Good and a Client Appreciation award to name but a few.
The Grand Prix 2020 was won by Creatives Against Covid. This worthy winner attracted global attention by inspiring 1,200 creatives from 30 different countries, to contribute 1,278 stunning poster designs in an online sale, subsequently raising €230,000 for Women’s Aid and ISPCC Childline.
