Last year, HOW started a brand new, one-of-a-kind competition designed to recognize the creative prowess of designers and design teams who have the talent to produce multiple original, boundary-pushing projects: The Your Best Work Design Awards.
We published the top 2 winners of this design competition in the May 2012 issue of the magazine, along with a list of the the 10 runner's up. Read on to see the winning design work from these 10 small and large firms who stood out from a very talented pack.
