DAME Design Awards
The DAME Design Awards was launched to promote marine design in all disciplines and to recognise the best-designed products at METSTRADE. The unique relevance of the DAME Design Awards in the global marine marketplace has grown in parallel with the explosion in awareness of design in the world around us. In making its judgements the jury seeks to emphasise the importance of design for all marine products, from function to aesthetics and from packaging to the end product. Also considered is the expected impact on the marine industry, their suitability for intended purpose, the level of innovation, cost, ease of use or installation and environmental impact.
