It was noted that the project, which brings together creative people from ten design categories, was also supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The official partner of the project is also the Creative Azerbaijan portal (www.creative.az).

The designers presented their projects in 10 categories on the official website: branding, packaging design, illustration, web design, industrial design, application design, interior design, exterior design, print design, outdoor design.

Then the winners of the Azerbaijan Design Award were announced at a grand finale. The finalists were awarded diplomas and prizes by the Azerbaijan Design Award and the Ministry of Culture. The winners were awarded the main prize - Azerbaijan Design Award Cup, diplomas and gifts.
