Where Does Best Designs Source Featured Products and Projects?

We feature urban planning, landscape design and playground designs, products and projects. Most of the urban planning, landscape design and playground designs, products and projects featured on Best Designs are selected from among the winners of the A' Design Award, with a special focus on winners in Urban Planning and Urban Design, Landscape Planning and Garden Design, and Playground Equipment, Play Structures and Public Park Design. We choose most projects from the A' Design Award Winners Registry.

We prominently feature winners of the A' Design Award & Competition because the A' Design Award is a prestigious, internationally renowned and highly respected meritocratic competition in which winning designs are judged on pre-established, public evaluation criteria through an anonymous, academic, blind peer-review process. Moreover, nominated works are evaluated anonymously, and jurors are bound by their juror agreement, which makes the accolade fairer, more impartial and more trustworthy. Furthermore, the preliminary jury phase helps entrants present their work more effectively, and submissions are standardized so that entries are compared on merit rather than on presentation before the main judging. Following jury voting, votes are checked for anomalies, scores are standardized and normalized, and results are ranked meritocratically. Because the A' Design Award is meritocratic, ethical and fair, Best Designs relies on the winners of the A' Design Award to feature good design with confidence.
