The ADIQ André Jarry prize, courtesy of the Association des designers industriels du Québec, is awarded annually to graduating students in the province whose work demonstrates achievement in industrial design.

The Surface3 Design Award, provided for the second year by Surface3 design principals and Concordia alumni Jason Shatilla (BFA 03) and Carla El-Samra (BFA 01), is given to a graduating student in the design program whose work showcases overall excellence, with a specific focus on concerns of sustainability.

Newly established Dpt. Award, funded by Dpt. creative studio leads and Concordia alumni Philippe Archontakis, Hugues Bruyère (BFA 07), Thibaut Duverneix (Gr. Cert. 06), Nicolas S. Roy, and Elie Zananiri (BCompSci 07), celebrates overall excellence in computation arts, with a specific focus on a user-centric experience and elegant execution.

Joanna Berzowska, Department of Design and Computation Arts associate professor and chair, congratulated the finalists and their peers by saying: “We are so proud of our graduating class and the wonderful work that will be presented in this exhibit. Our department takes a unique approach to design and technology, focusing on highly conceptual, speculative, and inventive work, with an interest in social, cultural, economic, and environmental sustainability.”
