This year, DBCS and SDA are also partnering the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, and Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, to reinforce their mission to ideate ways to tackle current societal issues.
A leading design award that serves as a springboard for creators to take on increasingly complex problems in today’s world, the Singapore Design Awards 2021 (SDA), by Design Business Chamber Singapore (DBCS), is currently open for submissions with a slightly different format this year.
Firstly, it has done away with specific entry categories which once separated students, professionals and corporates, and instead is accepting submissions from any creative person who uses design as their primary problem-solving tool. SDA is also dropping entry fees for all participants to promote better inclusivity and encourage submissions from designers of all backgrounds.
