A' Authorized Agent

Learn about the A' Design Award & Competitions' Authorized Award Agents (AAA). Please keep in mind that the AAA is different from PR Partners, Authorized Seller, and A'ffiliates.

A' Authorized Agents
Authorized Agents of the A' Design Award (AAA) are third parties who earn a sales commission from their active involvement with the design competition. AAA earn their commission through trackable sales by reporting their leads in advance before results of the competition are announced.

Please kindly note that A' Design Award's Authorized Agents are different from A' Design Award Authorized Seller & Service Providers; The A' Design Award Authroized Sellers directly sell the A' Design Award nomination tickets to prospective clients and provide secondary services for helping such clients complete their nominations; while on the other hand, the A' Design Award Authorized Agents have less responsabilities, and they do not take part of the transaction or support services and only provide leads, this makes it ideal for people who do not wish to engage in invoicing to clients and/or managing clients.

In very simple terms, the AAA contact a series of prospective participants and report their list of contacts at the end of the year before results are announced. If a contact reported by AAA has nominated an entry by paying a nomination fee, the AAA earns a commission. Furthermore AAA make active promotion and dissemination for the competition in order to increase its prestige, reach as well as to create additional value to its laureates by helping them get featured at prominent publications.
