The objective of the comeptition: Exchange of creative ideas. There are competitions in a lot of countries on custom media, books, corporate design and magazine design, which take place in separated competitions. The ICMA aims to support the exchange of ideas at the international platform. This is why the call for entries is send to more than 9000 designers, custom media specialists, book publishers and magazines worldwide. Further objectives of the competition: n Disclosing trends: The results of the competition give everyone the opportunity to classify his object in international comparison, and to quickly execute opti-misation measures for his own product. n Impact outwardly: Winners report intensively on the Awards they have won, on their web sites and in print media. They thus underscore their standards of quality and at the same time get involved in their own advertising. n Think tank: Publication of the winners in the ICMA‘s Almanac and on www.creative-mediaaward.com promote their own creativity. What Awards are there? There are Awards in Gold, Silver and Bronze. Besides, there are Awards of Excellence for outstanding individual performance, such as, for example, for a book cover, typography, book design or print enhancement. Statistics. 411 publications from 17 countries participated in the 6th ICMA. The following awards were given: n 39 Gold Awards (5th ICMA: 27) n 45 Silver Awards (5th ICMA: 25) n 31 Bronze Awards (5th ICMA: 22) n as well as Awards of Excellence
Why should I take part in this competition? In the magazine “Page” there was the following quote from a designer about this: “We have been in agreement for some years that there is no cheaper advertising than expensive participation in design competitions. How much more would we have to spend without this simple method in order to attract attention! And what’s nicer than the accolade of colleagues?” Take a look at the websites of well-known designers or large advertising agencies: Almost always you will find a category for competitions, in which they have successfully competed. The ICMA really is a world-wide competition. Winners can advertise with it and show they also work successfully against international competitors.

Newspaper Design and Reading Research This book aims at showing the extended potentials the printed newspaper has today to stand their ground with readers, and set themselves apart from other media. This book is based on research into reader behaviour. To this end, an eye-tracking camera is employed that documents behaviour when a newspaper is read. The results enable us to deduce what the reader-friendly newspaper should look like. The redesigning projects shown in this book are orientated on the research results documented at the end of this book.
