Every year design firms, individual designers and consultants are dismayed to find that they are not credited for their contributions to an Innovations award-winning product. This is usually because the Innovations entry form, completed by a manufacturer or public relations firm, mistakenly checked "in-house designer" at the time of entry. Now is the time to make sure everyone who was a part of the design team - including outside design consultants - receives proper credit for the award. Changes can be made by sending an updated list of design credits to Innovations@CE.org. Display your company's achievement in your trophy case at home or at other events.
