Each year features a different panel of independent judges.
Entries will be digitally submitted for review by the judges. A shortlist of finalists in each category are eligible to be included in the exhibition. Judging is always anonymous, with projects being judged on both quality of design and communication, and how well they reflect the theme of the given category.
Winners are announced at the AAA Design Awards function, following a public talk by committee members, sponsors and judges.
