Supported by the Italian Association of Visual Communication Design, the AWDA Award is run by a small team of four female curators and a group of volunteers. The biennial award has three categories for professors, researchers, and students. It aims to investigate the languages, poetics, and approaches to graphic design among women, and explore the conditions in which they work.
