The following day, Thursday, December 5, Allen and Strauss will announce live the 2013 “Best of Year” winners from the 108 combined categories in the product and project sections.
“We were blown away by the number and quality of submissions we received for Best of Year and are endlessly inspired by the creativity and innovation that we see happening across the industry,” said Allen.
The magazine received 1,800 submissions from more than 50 countries for the eighth annual awards. Finalists for the best design products were chosen through an online voting system totaling nearly 62,000 votes, and the final decision will be made by Allen and a team of design experts.
The awards ceremony takes place from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. at the IAC Building in New York City.
