INDEX: Award is unique in the sense that INDEX: Award is aiming at Design to Improve Life and does not use the normal distinctions between different kind of designs but uses the categories BODY, HOME, WORK, PLAY, and COMMUNITY
INDEX: design focus
This focus differentiates the INDEX: Award from other design awards in a number of ways. Firstly, INDEX: does not categorise design according to traditional labels visual design, apparel, industrial design, etc. since these categories do not fully reflect the interdisciplinary approach employed with the most interesting modern design. INDEX: asks that nomination bodies to think horizontally across design categories and industries when selecting the best nominees for the five categories vital to human life: Body, Home, Work, Play and Community.
Next, INDEX: is concerned with both tangible and intangible design. Traditionally design has been perceived as styling and addressing function. INDEX: shares this view but more importantly views design as a problem-solving tool. Better solutions are not created just by producing newer and better products. They are also created through the design of better overall strategies, better total concepts and better services, which is why these forms of design are also eligible for nomination.
