The 2022 World Design Rankings (WDR) by the A’ Design Award
The following post is brought to you by A’ Design Award and Competition. Our partners are hand-picked by the Design Milk team because they represent the best in design.
The 2022 World Design Rankings (WDR) organized by the A’ Design Award and Competition have been released! The rankings didn’t change very much compared to last year. Once again, China took the #1 spot among the 114 countries represented. The following spots (USA, Japan, Italy, Hong Kong, Great Britain, Taiwan, and Germany) also remained unchanged but Portugal pulled in to round out the top 10.
The World Design Rankings show how the global design community fares amongst different countries and is put together by the A’ Design Award & Competition, a prestigious contest that provides emerging and independent designers a chance to showcase their designs on a world stage. Whether you have a concept, prototype, or completed project, there are over 100 categories that you can enter your design under, and the preliminary score you receive after submitting your design gives you an idea of how your project will do within the competition, which is juried by an international jury panel of design academics, professions, and press members.
