There's an added extra incentive to get involved with our first awards too, as for this year only you can nominate and vote in the Creative Bloq at 10 category. That's right, this year marks a decade of, well, us – read more about this in our Creative Bloq at 10 announcement. This summer we'll be looking back at some of our favourite features and moments that made design history, and the Creative Bloq Awards 2002 is part of the fun.
The Creative Bloq at 10 category will celebrate everything from the best ad campaign of the last ten years to the best smart phone design. This category is open to the public vote, so you can have a say! Look back on a decade of design and choose your favourite logos, brand campaigns and more.
