The Interaction Design Association (IxDA) has just announced the shortlist of entries for the 2014 Interaction Awards. Out of the 350 projects submitted from around the world, 91 projects from 18 countries have been elevated for consideration. Congratulations to those who have been selected.
Being one of the “legion of international peer reviewers” who helped narrow down the work, I’m pretty excited by the quality of work submitted and really looking forward for the decision of the Jury.
