The Red Dot is now accepting entries for the 2014 Communication Design Award.

The competition demonstrates the most important trends in communication design and provides a credible framework to generate important unique selling points.

"Convincing communication work and the use of the corresponding channels, in print and on the web, is essential," commented Prof. Dr. Peter Zec, the founder and CEO of Red Dot.

"If you want to reach your target group and be successful on the market, you have to attract attention on all levels of marketing. And you can only be successful on the market if the consumers are 100% convinced. Winning a Red Dot is a double bonus in this respect.

Firstly, the winners receive the recognition for their creative achievements, as they have succeeded in winning over our international jury of experts and in coming out on top in the global competition.

Secondly, they can use the award with the seal of quality in their own presentation in order to market themselves proactively. Red Dot displays excellent communication."

The red dot jury will award prizes in the following categories: Corporate Design & Identity, Brand Design & Identity, Advertising, Packaging Design, Posters, Typography, Illustrations, Publishing & Print Media, Online, Apps, Interface Design, Film & Animation, Sound Design, Spatial Communication, Game Design, and Social Responsibility.

The deadline for entries is June 2, with a late deadline of June 27, 2014.
