The Blog

Two weeks ago, our global Jury met at Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (CIID) to review all of the shortlisted entries and choose the best examples of Interaction Design for 2015. It was an enormous task for our amazing jury to narrow down to five finalists per category, and they were up for the challenge.

We’re pleased to announce the finalists of the 2015 Interaction Awards, all of whom will be celebrated at Interaction15 in San Francisco, CA 9-11 of February, 2015. Best in Category, Best Student, Best in Show and the winner of the People’s Choice Award (all shortlisted projects are eligible, with voting starting January 2015) will be announced live at the Interaction Awards Celebration on Wednesday evening, 11th of February. This will be a wonderful way to close out Interaction15 and celebrate.

Congratulations to the 2015 Interaction Awards finalists!
