Material Design Awards 2017
Recognizing best-in-class designs from around the community
A design system only comes to life when it’s used to create meaningful experiences. The Material Design Awards recognize best-in-class achievements in employing the Material Design system, and honor the makers behind each design.For this, our third annual Material Design Awards, we decided to do things a little differently by opening the nomination process to the public. We wanted to reach back out to the community to help us find the very best, because there is so much excellent work being created. After reviewing hundreds of submissions, we're proud to announce the winners, who will be joining us to celebrate at the SPAN Pittsburgh conference on September 14-15. Read on to learn what makes each of these experiences great.Congratulations to all the honorees:Brand Expressiveness: BlinkistInteraction Design: Eventbrite OrganizerPlatform Adaptiveness: NPR OneInnovation: momondo
