Another design awards season, another opportunity to throw a raging party honoring the best designers of the past year.

We were thrilled on June 14th to have the opportunity to throw our 2018 Core77 Design Awards results celebration on the roof of Kickstarter HQ in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, where we honored our 2018 honorees and shared a toast to another year of hard work. 

The place was packed with Core77 Design Awards winners old and new, jury captains and teams, and other Core77 friends. 

The beautiful rooftop garden at Kickstarter headquarters was the perfect setting for a summer evening party.

For New Yorkers, a rooftop reigns supreme as the perfect summer party spot.

Cheers to another great year of world-changing design! And free drinks :) 

Matt Brown of Small Planet—an interaction design studio who's Executive Producer Joana Lehman served as Interaction Jury Captain in the awards this year—brought some fun to the party with his expert tarot card readings.

When all was said and done, the 2018 Core77 Design Awards Results Celebration was a rousing success, and a great night to get everyone from the Core77 community to come together and celebrate the best in design of this past year.

The show's not quite over yet, however - there's still a role to play. From now until July 14th, we're turning to the Core77 community to vote for their favorite honored project to receive the 2018 Community Choice Grand Prize. This year, the Community Choice Grand Prize Winner - the project which tallies the most votes overall - will be taking home tickets and airfare to attend our 2018 Core77 Conference in New York, "Now What? Launching & Growing Your Creative Business". So be sure to look through the full cast of 2018 Core77 Design Awards honorees and show your favorites some love by giving them your vote!
