Why Spark Does This
Asked about the efficacy of Design Awards, Spark Senior Advisor John Guenther, former Director of Design, Hewlett-Packard commented, "Competitions level the playing field by making visible new and innovative design thinking from everyone from students to small design firms."

Even big design organizations are surprisingly thrilled to have the intensity of design innovation made publicly visible by design competitions. It benefits them and all designers and consumers by continuously raising the bar of excellence and striving to always move the profession forward. It's one of the important ways we benchmark our profession."

Winners will be honored at the Spark Celebration in San Francisco and on exhibition at the Autodesk Design Gallery. Winners of the Spark Awards may be viewed in the online galleries at www.sparkawards.com.
