2022 UCDA DESIGN AWARDS JUDGING DASHBOARD
UCDA DESIGN AWARDS
The UCDA Design Awards recognizes the best of the exceptional design and creative work done by communication professionals to promote educational institutions (secondary, vocational, or higher education) and supports the exchange of ideas and information relating to the unique role of these creatives.
These coveted awards are judged by a hand-picked panel of peer jurors composed of designers, design educators, photographers, and illustrators working in or doing a significant portion of their work for educational institutions—they understand the environments in which you create.
Winning entries will be part of the UCDA Design Show on display during the 51st annual UCDA Design Conference and become a part of the UCDA Design Collection.

ROUND 2—BEST OF SHOW AND JUDGES CHOICE SELECTION
All judges scores have been tabulated for the 775 print and digital entries honoring 151 awards—13 Gold Awards, 27 Silver Awards and 111 Awards of Excellence.
BEST OF SHOW
of the 13 Gold Award, we ask each judge to review them all (not just within their competition category), and judge each using the same point system as before:
1 = poor
2 = below average
3 = average
4 = very good
5 = excellent
Abstain
These scores will be tabulated to determine if a Best of Show is awarded.
JUDGES CHOICE
Of the 151 entries that consist of the UCDA Design SHow for 2022, we ask that each judge select one piece within their competition category as their Judges Choice Award.
REQUESTED TESTIMONIALS
We are asking each judge to provide us with the following, please keep these questions in mind during yout review process.
- What was your overall opinion of the quality of work submitted for the competition?
- What trends, if any, did you notice during judging?
- What surprised you?

- How do you see the impact of economic, cultural, and social developments reflected in design for education?
- Looking forward, what opportunities do you see for creatives working in and for an educational institution?
- Overall comments and why did you choose your judges choice award? (If you are comfortable with being on camera, a video of your answer to #7 would be terrific.)
