Quotes, thoughts, and thanks...

Winning an FX Award ranks
pretty highly when it comes tothings that make a designer
happy. And to hear that there
were an unprecedented numberof votes this year makes it all themore grin-inducing. It felt very
special that my son Kris and somany clients were in the room toshare the spoils of so much hard
work. I even celebrated with aclient I’ve known for over a
decade, but hadn’t met until
FX brought us together.

Thoroughly enjoyable event.
Great creative people on mytable. Discussed everything from
perfume counters through Dieter
Rams to how Ubers will change
the world. Got a normal taxi
home, it cost a fortune.. NB: Sat
next to Theresa, didn’t evennotice the trainers….

The FX Awards was fantastic asalways, celebrating world-classdesign from around the world.

and the judging process ...

This is our most valuable asset;
the judges!
No one at FX is allowed to judge.
Theresa’s job is to recruit the best andoversee fairplay, and a squeaky clean
judging procedure. The judges are all
independent experts who are invited toform a fresh new panel each year, andcomprise engineers, clients, architects
and designers from many different sectors
to reflect our categories. They wereinvited onto the 2024 panel because of
their experience, opinions andcommitment to design. Judges, and theircompanies, are not permitted to enter
any categories.

Thank you to our sponsors

Each category is judged by a different setof judges, so if you do not win in one
category you could win in another.
Because of the large number of entries,
and to preserve the integrity of the FXAwards, we use a transparent system inwhich each judge ranks their top six entries
in each category before they know who
their co-judges are. With up to ten judges
for each of the hotly contested categories,
these placings are then scored and added
together to confirm the shortlist and theultimate winner.
Many thanks to all our judges, who gave up
so much of their valuable time and brought
their expertise and enthusiasm to theprocess. Sincere thanks also to Cherrill
Scheer, who acts in an advisory capacity
as unofficial chair of the judges.
