Through the PREMIER’S DESIGN AWARDS a series of PREMIER’S DESIGN MARKS will celebrate Victoria’s design professionals. Those who receive a PREMIER’S DESIGN MARK will be designers and practices that have developed their skills and their creative processes to respond to the new more demanding market conditions, producing exemplary approaches and outcomes that are perceived by the profession, clients and the community as a contribution to a sustainable future.
The 2008 PREMIER’S DESIGN AWARDS will be assessed by an international and local judging panel chaired by Professor Chris Ryan, Co-Director of the Australian Centre for Science, Innovation and Society and Director of the Victorian Eco- Innovation Lab (VEIL)

Nominations are also being called for the PREMIER’S AWARD FOR DESIGN LEADERSHIP. The recipient must be an individual who has led Victoria by design,
profoundly influencing Victoria’s design industry. Nominations close 5pm WEDNESDAY 14th MAY 2008.
The recipients of the 2008 Premier’s Design Marks and the Premier’s Award for Design Leadership will be announced at the STATE OF DESIGN Festival opening, Wednesday 16th July 2008, at the Melbourne Museum.
