PS. Sorry for the late update, but i broke my arm … !

Wii Spray is officially honored with the famous iF communication design award.
The submission was signed under the category »product interfaces«.

This year 377 competition entries — out of a total of 1,368 entries submitted from 24 different nations — received an iF communication design award.

The iF awards are considered to be one of the most important design awards worldwide. Being honored with the iF communication design award gives not only scores for the iF ranking, but also for the national rankings of the »PAGE« and »W&V Werben und Verkaufen«  magazines. All of the honoured submissions are to be described – in both english and german language – and depicted in the iF yearbook communication 2009 and also at the iF online exhibition. The iF yearbook is a worldwide known reference book.

Out of the pool of winners, the jury also selected 30 to receive an additional »iF gold award« honoring particularly outstanding design achievements within the scope of the competition. These 30 iF gold awards of the iF communication design award 2009, will not be announced until August 28th, the day of the official awards ceremony.
