COMMUNICATION DESIGN EDUCATORS AWARDS
Design Incubation is pleased to announce annual awards in 3 categories: Scholarship (design research, creative production, and/or professional practice), Teaching, and Service (departmental, institutional, community) in the field of Communication Design. The purpose of these awards is to highlight the design excellence and ingenuity of academics. Communication Design scholars have a unique challenge as researchers and educators in an area that has experienced significant growth, expansion and interest.
Eligibility
Eligible candidates must be employed (full-time faculty or teaching adjuncts) at an accredited college or university that offers communication design or related fields.
Individuals or teams may apply. Applicants may not receive more than one award in a given year, nor awards in two consecutive years.
Criteria
Scholarship: The scholarship award is for work that demonstrates originality, rigor, impact, scope. This includes communication design research, creative production and/or professional practice, publications, exhibitions, competitions and other communication design investigations. Contributions to communication design’s theoretical, critical, historical and/or visionary foundations are considered necessary for this award. All media are available for entry.
Teaching : The teaching award is for innovation in content delivery and student learning outcomes. Visionary curricular development, outstanding instructional quality, novel teaching methods, successful assignments and projects, and impact on student and alumni success are germane to this distinction. Teaching is the facilitation of learning through various methods, inclusive of heuristics, apprenticeships, internships, mentoring and collaborating, whether in studios, lectures, labs, learning abroad or remotely, and in person or via distance learning technologies.
Service: The service award is intentionally expansive. Service to the discipline of design can involve many areas: from service-learning projects involving on or off-campus clients, to curating exhibits, to organizing conferences, to reviewing colleagues for tenure and promotion, to institutional leadership, to faculty governance, to professional consulting, to creating pro bono work, to producing design journalism in any medium – anything that serves the discipline of communication design within an educational environment in a positive way.
