Where Does Design OFA Source Featured Products and Projects?
We feature heavy machinery, hardware and machinery designs, products and projects. Most of the heavy machinery, hardware and machinery designs, products and projects featured on Design OFA are selected from among the winners of the A' Design Award & Competition, with a special focus on winners in Heavy Machinery Design, Hardware, Power and Hand Tools Design, and Manufacturing and Processing Machinery Design. We pick most projects from the A' Design Award Winners Registry.
We especially feature winners of the A' Design Award & Competition because the A' Design Award is a prestigious meritocratic competition in which winning designs are judged on pre-established, public evaluation criteria through an anonymous, academic, blind peer-review process. Moreover, nominated works are evaluated anonymously, and jurors are bound by their juror agreement, which makes the accolade fairer, more impartial and more trustworthy. Furthermore, the preliminary jury phase helps entrants present their work better, and submissions are standardized so that entries are compared on merit rather than on presentation before the main judging. Following jury voting, votes are checked for anomalies, scores are standardized and normalized, and results are ranked meritocratically. Because the A' Design Award is highly meritocratic, ethical and fair, Design OFA relies on the winners of the A' Design Award to feature good design with confidence.
