The BDDS Competition
By Richard Cox

This year the Best Digital Design Society reinvented its annual digital competition in a big way. With new categories and divisions, they sought to showcase the very best the industry has to offer, from photography to product designs and way beyond.
Best Digital Design Competition launched this summer when 5 industry leaders spent a week poring over more than 150 entries. They met in person at Midtown State University in July to discuss the top 10 entries.
The first-prize winner was the design by Elizabeth Bums, a 33-year-old designer, connected with a leading design firm in the city. The contest judges deemed her design for a smart phone monitor as the most attractive, functional, and cost-economic among the 150 entries submitted.
The second prize-winning design, by 26-year-old Kevin Davis, a recent college graduate, rated higher in beauty and elegance for laptop computers.
The third prize went to the design by Richard Cox, a 38-year-old independent designer. His battery design was adjudged the most creative, but was deemed too advanced for mobile phone users.
