Now in its 28th year, the annual
SEGD Global Design Awardswas established in
1987to recognise the highest standards in environmental graphic design. The program illustrates the pandisciplinary nature of visual communications in the built environment and its important role in providing context, a strong sense of place, and navigational aids through complex human-made environments.
Environmental graphic design is increasingly cross-disciplinary, often created by collaborative teams working to activate and organize the places where people live, work, play, gather, and learn.
Awards are conferred by multidisciplinary international juries. Entries are encouraged from
any application that can benefit from graphic communications:
• Dynamic Environments
• Office/Workplace Environments
• Leisure/Entertainment Environments
• Educational/Institutional Environments
• Transportation Environments
• Retail/Commercial Environments
