Australian Graphic Design Association (AGDA) fourth biennial design awards
Adelaide 98 South Australia

As the only national representative body of graphic designers in Australia, AGDA's mission is to promote visual communication as a discipline, profession and cultural force.

The AGDA Biennial is the premier event on the Australian graphic design calendar. Since its inception in 1992, it has attracted an ever increasing number of entries of exceptional work from the nation's professional design community.

This year introduces a new category dedicated to Innovation and all entries will be judged by a distinguished panel of design practitioners. Award winners and finalists will be recognized in the various categories and the work will be included in the AGDA CPI Papers Travelling Exhibition and AGDA Awards Book.

The Awards weekend, from Friday 23 to Sunday 25 October, promises to include various wine, food and arts experiences for which Adelaide has established an international reputation. The highlight will, of course, take the form of the AGDA Awards and AGDA Paperpoint Hall of Fame presentation dinner at the Adelaide Convention Centre on Saturday, 24 October.

Enthusiastic sponsor involvement has already well exceeded that of any previous AGDA Awards Biennial, a sure sign of a successful event.
