The Core77 Design Awards are well underway and we're excited to announce who three of our Jury Captains—Julie Lasky (Products/Equipment), Steven Heller (Graphics/Branding/Identity) and Mark Vanderbeeken (Strategy/Research)—have invited to their jury team. Their teams will be judging in New York and Turin, Italy and we'll be providing the snacks. We thank and congratulate Julie, Steven and Mark for assembling such an inspiring and diverse group of people!

Fifteen dedicated jury teams based in 13 different cities and eight countries around the world will be judging our Core77 Design Awards entrants in June. It's all part of the "distributed juries" approach that the Core77 Design Awards is taking in this inaugural year. You can see who the Jury Captains assigned to the 15 categories are here and look out for more team announcements over the next two weeks!
