Working - Home | 2012 Design Awards. BraunPrize. A big thank you goes to all the participants that have sent in their genius designs for a better everyday for the BraunPrize 2012! The BraunPrize team can proudly announce that it has received a record number of high quality submissions. In June 2012, the BraunPrize jury gathered for the judging session at the BraunCollection in Kronberg. In the first judging session the internationally renowned five-member jury of design professionals evaluated and discussed the entries based on the proposals, which contained sketches, images, technical drawings, movies, animations and project descriptions.
The jury was overwhelmed by the outstanding quality of the submissions: “This has clearly exceeded our expectations. Our entrants had a big challenge to master – the scope was clearly defined as a genius design for a better everyday. The results are fabulous. The winners of the National BraunPrize Awards will be announced during the BraunPrize 2012 Award Ceremony at Braun in Kronberg, Germany. Prof. Design in the Wild: Photo Contest.
