Now in its fifth edition, the Interaction Awards recognize and celebrate examples of excellence in Interaction Design across domains, channels, environments, and cultures.
With participation from all over the world, the Interaction Awards reflect the diversity of the global interaction design community and the need for a common recognition platform based in standards of excellence that represent the breadth and impact of interaction design.
