Why take part in Wolda, the Worldwide Logo Design Annual

- Because it's the first and only awards scheme in design history to be endorsed by so many international and national design associations and schools (see the full list at www.wolda.org).
- Because the judging process is completely innovative by giving a say in the deciding the winning entries to every designer participating in Wolda.
- Because all the winners will be featured on the Wolda website and covered in articles in the most influential design media (print and digital) through Wolda's media partners network.
- Because finally there's real visibility and possibility for international exposure thanks to Wolda's media partners network.

Wolda is also open to students, who participate in a dedicated area called Wolda Talent. Students' work will be judged by the same criteria and jury as the professional work submitted.
