Here they are, the German finalists of the European Design Awards 2022. At the beginning of April, the eight-member international jury (Print) met in sunny Athens to spend two days evaluating the entries in the second basement of a hotel. With over 1400 submissions, it was hard work and many of the projects were the subject of heated debate. The jurors were literally spoiled for choice, but now they have been chosen as the German Finalists of the ED Awards 2022

Who among the finalists will ultimately receive a gold, silver or bronze award will be decided at the big awards ceremony on June 18 in Tallinn, Estonia. Fingers crossed!

We are looking forward to meeting a great jury, all the finalists and as many other design enthusiasts as possible in Tallinn, because the ED Festival promises a lot of creative input. We will of course be presenting the winning entries in an upcoming issue, but if you don't want to wait that long, we recommend taking a look at last year's projects, which are also well worth seeing: Grafikmagazin 05.21.
