The 2012 AGDA Biennale Awards 

• All of the award categories have been researched, reexamined and repurposed from 18 cobbled categories to 10 relevant and refined categories – led by Dom Hofstede - Hofstede Design.
• In 2012 there are four recognition awards – an AGDA Award, an AGDA Pinnacle Award, An AGDA Innovation Award, and AGDA Judge’s Choice Award – meaning no more Finalists and Distinctions.
• The AGDA Innovation Award is a new cross category award, determined by the Judges at judging.
• All work entered in the 2012 ADB Awards will be showcased, published and share-able online in September 2012 led by Che Douglas - Beyond the Pixels.
• All winning work of the 2012 ADB Awards will be showcased, published and share-able online 9pm, 24 November 2012 again led by Che.
• A design publication is being planned by Dom Hofstede to review the body of awarded work, due for release 12 to 18 months after 2012 ABD.

The ADB awards celebration – 24.11.2012

• The party is hosted in Melbourne and everyone attending are our special guests.
• We are taking a completely different take of the awards/dinner/gig idea with the assistance of Ghita Loebenstein – Speakeasy Cinema, Artist/ Designer Keith Deverell – Greyspace, Ryan Guppy – 21-19, Dom Bartolo – 21-19 and Chris Doyle – Interbrand
• The weekend will be launched with an AGDA Pinnacle exhibition 1992 – 2012 at Platform Gallery running late September to November 2012, conceived and led by Dom Forde - Famous VS
• The Awards and Party is about celebrating work, meeting friends and experiencing the Melbourne we love. Everyone in the studio can party – we are releasing full tix and half tix, so that all the studio can come along.
• You will not be attending a sit down dinner. The official part – hosted by Chris Doyle, the awards and ceremony has been skinned down to a mere 60 mins. Cocktails, food, drinks, official stuff, catch up, entertainment, after party and surprises, will be served up in one venue over six hours
• There will be side events leading up to November check our space on facebook or australiandesignbiennale.com for details.
