Hi Rob, thanks for your comment. In creating this program, we never intended for it to be the industrial design awards. We've made a very conscious effort to broaden the categories outside the traditional in order to cover long-overdue design efforts around Service Design, Design for Social Impact, Design Education Initiatives, Strategy and Research, Speculative Objects, and DIY. We see Transportation as worthy of its own category both in terms of scale and the growing interest in improving and providing alternative modes of transportation. That said, your comment about the diversity contained within Products and Equipment is a good point and is something we have discussed and will look at breaking down for next year. We are going broad this year and will see what sticks - this is the inaugural edition of what's going to be an annual event and we expect to learn from our experience along with feedback (like yours) in order to make improvements to the program next year.

Hey... just writing to vent some frustration with these awards. As many ID'rs know, Core77 is THE industrial design site. And a lot of us work in product design, but you currently only have ONE category for product design. I mean, you have soft goods.. you have furniture, packaging, transportation.. but that's basically it for products, which doesn't really cover most of what we're stuck designing. Working in the industry, I'd say less than 3% of us are doing transportation design, and I've never seen someone want us to design furniture, that is usually self motivated.

What you are lacking are the bulk of what we do as product designers: Medical products. Consumer products. Industrial machines. Etc. To lump all that vastly different stuff in one category just seems like a huge mistake, while fleshing out every other possible aspect of design, that frankly, is not what is 'showcased' as what ID is all about. Get a book on ID, and you'll see tons of kitchen appliances, electronics, etc, and yet you have categories for none of these things.
