This page provides an overview of A' Design Award's International Multilingual Winner Advertising.

International Multilingual Winner Advertising
When you win the A' Design Awards via Pro-Edition or Digital-Edition entry, in a public competition category, you gain access to our International Multilingual Winner Advertising benefit which begins by A' Design Award asking your English source text confirmation (we ask you to review your yearbook description and confirm that we could use your yearbook description for translating your works to other languages) for translating the description of your works to 108+ languages, for each language, your work is then published in a publication of that language - this means you get coverage in 108+ magazines in 108+ languages. This initial coverage, based on yearbook description, is short form content, and helps create international awareness. These magazines are more visual oriented, with shorter design descriptions for each winning work. In addition to these 108+ publications in 108+ magazines covering design internationally, we are further pleased to inform you that, based on the design description and the publicly available data (we remind you that you could upload extensive documentation during entry to be shared by jury, but this information is not public thus is not used in your articles to respect your trade secrets and privacy) you yourself had provided to the A' Design Award during nomination procedure, we develop 15 more articles, this time in long content form in 15 languages. These are different and distinct from our publications in the 108+ languages. Your long-form magazine articles are published, in addition to the 108+ short form articles, in the following languages: English, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch, Hindi, Indonesian, Arabic, Japanese, Turkish, Korean, Russian. These 15 languages, helps you gain long-form coverage reaching 85% of the world, and moreover with the 108+ language publications, you can reach almost 100% of the world in their native language, providing you with a truly international coverage. While we work with multiple press partners and media, the International Multilingual Winner Advertising Campaign makes heavy use of our three distinct systems. First, DNWN (Design News World Network) publishes your long-form articles in 15 languages. Then IDNN (International Design News Network, publishes short-form articles in 108+ languages. These are yet still from our other networks such as DXGN (Design News Exchange Network) which provides coverage for industry specific domains, and these represent only one of the 188+ benefits of winning the A' Design Award. By providing you with international coverage in 108+ languages via long-form and short form articles, as well as by reaching journalists, media and press members in almost all countries via our international public relations campaign, we provide you with true international coverage. Moreover, that's not all we do. In addition to all these publications and coverage, the A' Design Award further helps you download pre-personalized communication templates, language-specific press releases and language-specific ads copy as well as premade advertising content in 15 distinct languages, these language specific marketing elements empower you to elevate your outreach further by helping you connect with local publications. Indeed to help you better connect with local publications, we also prepare you with an extensive electronic press kit as well as a special media pitching service that allows you to send, through the A' Design Award, your electronic press kit directly to journalists, and to remind again, this is all in addition to our all other Public Relations Services, PR and Advertising Campaigns and other 188+ benefits included within A' Design Award. This is one of the many benefits, but we think this is one of the stronger benefits we have that helps you with true outreach, helping us fulfill our mission of helping your good design reach audiences worldwide. Below, we explain and provide a summary of primary pillars of our International Multilingual Winner Advertising, and how these help you as an award winner.


Long-Form Articles in Design News World Network
The Design News World Network represents A' Design Award's premium content distribution channel, crafting comprehensive, thoughtfully articulated articles about award-winning designs in 15 major world languages. Long-form articles published through the Design News World Network extend far beyond basic descriptions, the comprehensive articles contextualize creative achievements, illuminate design processes, and articulate design philosophies to diverse global audiences in native tongues. A' Design Award's sophisticated content delivery through the Design News World Network ensures award-winning works receive meaningful engagement from approximately 85% of the world's population through culturally resonant, linguistically authentic storytelling that preserves the nuance and significance of design achievements.

The long-form articles published through Design News World Network leverage powerful psychological principles to maximize impact across cultures. The Narrative Transportation Theory demonstrates how immersive storytelling in comprehensive articles transports readers into deeper engagement with award-winning designs, creating stronger emotional connections than visual presentations alone. When information is presented in a reader's native language, Processing Fluency Theory shows native-language content creates more positive associations with both the design work and the design creator. Design News World Network's multilingual approach acknowledges linguistic relativity, the concept that language shapes perception, allowing for culturally-specific appreciation of design elements while facilitating what marketing research calls "central route processing", leading to more lasting persuasion and opinion formation about design significance in each cultural context.

The tangible benefits of A' Design Award's global articulation through Design News World Network extend across the design ecosystem. For brands and enterprises, our long-form multilingual articles are designed to help build global brand equity through Keller's Customer-Based Brand Equity model, creating rich brand knowledge structures in consumers' minds across cultures while serving as credible signals of quality in markets with information asymmetry. Independent designers gain portfolio enhancement and substantial documentation of achievement through Design News World Network publications that facilitate client acquisition while establishing thought leadership through articulation of design philosophy in prestigious contexts. Creative agencies can differentiate agency capabilities in competitive pitches, showcase talent to potential international clients, and strengthen credentials when pursuing multinational opportunities, all while enhancing team morale through recognized achievement that transcends borders. In the end, your Design News World Network helps discovery of your good design by international audiences, journalists, publishers, investors, retailers, manufacturers, as well as discerning consumers, customers, clients and buyers, helping you grow.

How does our DNWN coverage work? To be specific about the Design News World Network operational process, each award-winning entry in public A' Design Award categories, receives dedicated attention in which we craft unique articles based on the submitted materials, design description, and visual assets, and we further aim to utilize your design interviews or other PR content you had provided to us using post-competition tab of your Control Panel (you will remember you have access to upload and submit further details about your design as well as answering interviews when you win the A' Design Award). Using all your content, we create very unique articles. These are not template based. Then, your articles do not undergo professional translation by native speakers in each of the 15 strategic languages because we instead write the articles already in these target languages. (English, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch, Hindi, Indonesian, Arabic, Japanese, Turkish, Korean, and Russian), by avoiding translation and directly preparing the articles in the foreign languages, we ensure higher linguistic authenticity and cultural relevance. The Design News World Network places your carefully crafted articles in design-focused publications with established readership in each language market, creating substantial exposure per each article for each A' Design Award winner work. A' Design Award winners can access our Value Statistics interface and Media Monitoring Dashboards to track where your articles have been published, and you will also be able to access digital copies of all publications through the A' Design Award winner's panel through your Visibility Report, providing concrete evidence of global recognition for marketing materials, client presentations, and portfolio enhancement. In some cases, before we publish your article, (we do not want to make malicious compliance and publish articles just for sake of publishing, we want to have good foundation for preparing really good international articles thus we may occasionally ask more details from you, moreover sometimes journalists from international publications may too be making inquiries and questions) thus we may ask you to provide us with further information, if this happens, this is also noted in our Media Monitoring and Visibility Report page, allowing you to empower us communicate the best of you, internationally.


Short-Form Coverage in International Design News World Network
The International International Design News Network extends A' Design Award's award-winning designs' reach through concise, visually-oriented articles published in over 108 languages worldwide, ensuring truly global linguistic diversity for your award-winning work. While more condensed than Design News World Network content, International Design News Network's elegantly crafted short-form publications maintain the essence of creative achievements and visual impact, making design excellence accessible to nearly 100% of the world's population. A' Design Award's democratic approach through International Design News Network breaks down language barriers that typically limit design recognition, ensuring excellence reaches audiences in virtually every corner of the globe through publications specifically oriented toward visual communication with supporting text that captures the essential elements of creative achievements. The difference between IDNN, DNWN and DXGN coverage is simple. IDNN publishes translations of your design details in 108+ languages via short form articles. DNWN publishes bespoke, language-specific written articles in 15 languages (not translated). DXGN is yet another network, we do not cover here, yet many ask; DXGN is Design News Exchange Network and publishes industry-specific coverage mainly in English, providing you with more visibility beyond the scope of our international publications. You will remember again that within the scope of A' Design Award, where we have 188+ benefits, this is only one single benefit, thus you will gain access to other benefits for publication, primarily in English, but also other languages, but here we wished to cover our international approach.

Within this context, we also wish to remind, in addition to the translations we make for our laureates, we also allow laureates to provide translations of their work description in many more languages, helping A' Design Award winners reach their native audiences far and beyond, our system allows laureates from very niche language groups to provide, in addition to the 108+ languages we provide, texts in their own language and this helps create even further reach. Moreover, whenever our translation is not aligned with your native approach, we also provide opportunity to overwrite the translations we had made for you, helping you communicate to your people, in absolute clarity, with your very own words, in your very own languages. Furthermore, in addition to having publications, we also provide these translations to journalists and press members, which is expected to increase article and feature rates worldwide.

The psychological and marketing foundations of A' Design Award's approach through International Design News Network are particularly powerful in today's fragmented media landscape. The Picture Superiority Effect in cognitive psychology demonstrates that visual-focused content in concise articles from the International Design News Network is remembered better than text alone, while the streamlined format perfectly accommodates modern attention patterns. From a marketing perspective, the Diffusion of Innovation model reveals how International Design News Network's short-form content pieces serve as essential awareness that triggers across cultures, initiating the crucial first stages of the AIDA model (Attention and Interest). A' Design Award's multilingual dissemination through International Design News Network embodies McLuhan's "Global Village" concept by creating simultaneous presence across almost all major world languages, establishing efficient entry points for deeper engagement with design work.

For enterprises and brands, International Design News Network creates truly global market coverage really hard to obtain through conventional PR channels, establishing brand presence in emerging regions while demonstrating global brand citizenship. Long Tail economic theory explains the collective value in addressing numerous smaller language markets through International Design News Network that competitors typically overlook. Independent designers benefit beyond portfolio visibility, with opportunities opening in new and unexpected markets through International Design News Network coverage and establishing credentials as internationally relevant creatives, a powerful differentiator from competitors with limited linguistic reach. Creative agencies can demonstrate genuine global capability to multinational clients, open dialogue with potential partners in emerging regions, and establish unique selling propositions versus locally-focused competitors, all through content specifically tailored by International Design News Network to linguistic and cultural contexts across the full spectrum of global languages. This benefits large brands very much, but benefits smaller brands and individuals truly much, especially allowing our winner architects, designers, creative agencies, engineers, innovators to showcase their design excellence globally, helping discovery in search and generative engines and allowing them to expand their business far and beyond.

The International Design News Network delivers tangible coverage through a specialized publication mechanism where each award-winning design receives dedicated space in over 108+ language-specific publications. Your concise award winner articles come with prominent visual presentation, focusing on communicating the core essence and visual impact of your A' Design Award winner works. In addition to the International Design News Network which maintains a publication in and every 108+ languages, the A' Design Award further maintains distinct relationships with visual design publications, online portals, and design blogs in countries representing virtually every language region globally, to help your good design spread beyond our networks. For highly esteemed A' Design Award winners, publishing you in 108+ languages as well as reaching local publications worldwide is designed to bring to the surface the concrete evidence of your global recognition as your design work appears in publications catering to countries from Iceland to Indonesia, New Zealand to Nigeria, creating a truly worldwide footprint hard to achieve through any other single recognition program. Within our Media Monitoring and Visibility Report, the A' Design Award provides winners with comprehensive documentation of all International Design News Network placements, searchable by language and region, offering concrete metrics of global reach that can be leveraged in marketing materials, client pitches, and professional portfolios - moreover, in cases when and if we need further information from you to help publish your content, our Media Monitoring and Visibility Report page also provides you with call to actions to provide us with data, this helps ensure that your articles are properly made and better represent your excellence.


Coverage via A' Design Award's International Press Partners and Media
Beyond A' Design Award's dedicated networks, A' Design Award maintains privileged relationships with an extensive array of international press partners and media outlets, thoughtfully preparing and distributing information about award-winning work to respected entities. We not only have our own media list, we also work with prominent public relations agencies and networks such as DesignPRWire, /design/newswire, design|newsroom and PRHow among others to reach a wider array of publications and we also run an awards program distinct from the A' Design Award for identifying best media worldwide, which gives us an edge in reaching out to international design publications. Due to our meritocratic philosophy, when we reach to international media, we do not push specific content but invite the editors to pick the content to publish, this is designed to ensure we do not create an unfair advantage to any winner, this gives equity and diversity to all our laureates, that have already gone through our very strict evaluation process where the entries were evaluated by a large jury panel of established academics, prominent journalists and expert professionals following blind peer-review process and voted on pre-established evaluation criteria. Thus, we represent all A' Design Award winners, to media. While publication ultimately remains at editorial discretion, A' Design Award's carefully cultivated relationships and professionally prepared materials, combined with publication licenses (you will recall A' Design Award asks you to provide us a license and declaration to publish your work, this is where your license and declaration comes handy as it allows journalists worldwide to publish your work without worrying about copyright strikes and intellectual property disputes), significantly enhance prospects for influential exposure in prestigious independent publications. A' Design Award's approach to international media relations complements dedicated networks by creating additional opportunities for recognition across the global design landscape, potentially reaching specialized audiences and opinion leaders through channels that carry particular credibility within specific design communities and markets.

The theoretical underpinnings of third-party media coverage highlight the exceptional value of A' Design Award's media relations in building recognition. Source Credibility Theory explains why coverage arranged through A' Design Award's media partners is substantially more persuasive than self-promotion, an effect amplified by Social Proof principles where editorial selection serves as powerful validation of design quality. Third-Party Endorsement Theory confirms the substantial persuasive advantage of editorial coverage versus advertising, while the Media Multiplier Effect demonstrates how each publication arranged through A' Design Award creates compounding awareness that builds upon itself across channels and markets. Think it like this; imagine you are approaching to a potential partner, instead of you saying "I am attractive", A' Design Award, helps you approach potential partners in almost all languages, saying "Look at them, they are attractive" and remember we say this after only after jury voting, so there is weight in our opinion especially because the jury is very large, very prominent and the evaluation is very meritocratic. These dynamics are particularly potent in design fields, where peer and critical recognition significantly influence perception of creative work and can establish long-term reputation beyond any single project. The stakeholder benefits of A' Design Award's approach to international media relations are thus multifaceted and significant.

For brands and enterprises, A' Design Award's media relationships build credible, objective validation of design excellence while enhancing corporate reputation beyond product-specific attributes. Information Asymmetry economic concepts show how prestigious coverage facilitated by A' Design Award reduces buyer uncertainty, creating valuable competitive advantage. Independent designers gain a credible professional history documented by objective sources through A' Design Award's media outreach, invaluable for client development, while Attribution Theory suggests achievements featured in respected media are attributed to designer talent rather than circumstance. Creative agencies benefit through demonstrated ability to create work worthy of editorial attention, compelling proof points for new business presentations, and enhanced agency leadership profiles through associated recognition, all contributing to business development efforts with minimal additional investment required.

To provide specific details about A' Design Award's international press partnerships, A' Design Award maintains active relationships with over tens of thousands of international design publications, ranging from prestigious magazines to specialized industry publications covering specific design disciplines in various regions. This is of course addition to the fact that we prepare press releases, electronic press kits and distribute your press releases to journalists worldwide. The A' Design Award's not only publicity team develops tailored press releases about each winning project, customized to the interests and focus of different media outlets, but also conducts personalized outreach to editors and journalists who have been in our Best Design Media program, and some of which are listed in our Media Resources page. A' Design Award maintains a very comprehensive database tracking media coverage resulting from these efforts, providing winners with detailed reports of where winning works appear in independent media, and you can access these reports easily, free of charge at Media Monitoring and Visibility Report page, where we not only show which publications published your contents but also opportunities for further publications. While A' Design Award cannot guarantee publication in specific outlets due to editorial independence, A' Design Award's professional public relations approach significantly increases the likelihood of meaningful coverage compared to individual outreach attempts, creating opportunities for winners to appear in publications they might otherwise be unable to access through direct submission. In addition to this method, we also work with a subset of larger design publications where we would be sponsoring editorial and advertorial placements, and this is something we do extra.


A' Design Award's Language-Specific Marketing Materials and Ads
To further empower promotional efforts, A' Design Award provides expertly crafted, ready-to-use marketing materials in 15 strategic languages that collectively reach approximately 85% of the global population. A' Design Award's comprehensive marketing resources include professionally written press releases in foreign languages, award announcement texts in foreign languages (not templates but proper language specific texts), and visually compelling advertisement designs, all personalized and ready-to-use for your achievements and culturally adapted for each language market. A' Design Award's exceptional marketing toolkit enables winners to extend their A' Design Award recognition independently through local media, social channels, and integrated marketing strategies with materials that maintain the highest professional standards across linguistic and cultural contexts, amplifying the impact of achievements through channels winners already control. Indeed, to help these efforts, we also provide you with a unique service called Direct Press Pitch, where we can send your press releases to the specific local publications; here the gimmick is that instead of you sending your electronic press kit and press release, we, an independent third-party and widely known and respected A' Design Award send the release, and we do follow up.

The psychological and business principles underlying A' Design Award's marketing materials service deliver exceptional efficiency and effectiveness. The Principle of Least Effort in behavioral psychology explains why A' Design Award's ready-to-use materials significantly increase implementation likelihood, reducing barriers to action dramatically. Cross-Cultural Communication models highlight the importance of A' Design Award's properly localized messaging beyond mere translation, while Cultural Congruence research demonstrates that marketing effectiveness increases dramatically with culturally appropriate communication provided by A' Design Award. From a business perspective, Transaction Cost Economics reveals the efficiency gains from leveraging A' Design Award's pre-prepared marketing resources rather than attempting to develop equivalent materials internally, while Opportunity Cost concepts illustrate the value of immediate deployment versus delayed self-creation through A' Design Award's turnkey materials.

Within this context, we also wish to remind, in addition to providing you with ready-to-use marketing materials in different languages, we also advertise winner designs internationally, with ads targeting design-oriented discerning audiences in almost all countries, which is very important because many awards target only high-profile countries and zones with higher GDP, which creates a market gap, however with our approach, your A' Design Award status reach not only high GDP countries but the whole world where we can legally place ads, helping your good design, helping your brand spread throughout the world.

A' Design Award's marketing materials deliver distinct advantages across the spectrum of award winners. For brands and enterprises, A' Design Award's multilingual materials seamlessly integrate your prestigious A' Design Award recognition into existing marketing channels while enabling coordinated global announcement strategies where Brand Consistency principles are maintained across markets. Independent designers receive studio-quality promotion assets from A' Design Award regardless of personal marketing resources or budget limitations, enabling professional self-promotion across international contexts while ensuring accurate representation of achievement. Creative agencies gain ready assets from A' Design Award for client reporting and agency promotion, demonstration of international capability through multilingual materials, and consistent case study content across markets while saving valuable account management time. A' Design Award's comprehensive toolkit transforms your awards from achievements into powerful marketing assets deployable across cultures, languages, and channels with minimal additional effort required.
