This page tells about organizing a custom/hosted design competition using A' Design Award platform.

Custom Design Competitions
Companies, Businesses and Institutions can utilize the A' Design Award and Competitions' existing IT Platform to run a design competition with their design competition brief. A' Design Award & Competitions will follow the design competition organization guidelines to run a design competition that fits your goals. Participants will use our existing platform to register, upload their designs and nominate their entries. There will not be any entry fees for participants. We offer two main packages. The custom design competition organization packages can be deployed really fast and your competition could be up and running within a week once the agreement of organizing a design competition is signed.

Note: The Custom Design Competition organization provided by A' Design Award and Competition is suitable for lower budgets and targets smaller enterprises and institutions. See existing custom design competitions here. Furthermore, we provide a different service for organizing a grand design competition which is suitable for international reach and designed for large institutions and enterprises.
