Brit Insurance Design Awards 2009: The Nominees

The world's most interesting and forward looking designs have been nominated by industry experts spanning seven categories: Architecture, Fashion, Furniture, Graphics, Interactive, Product and Transport, to be judged by a high profile panel, chaired by Alan Yentob and including the designer and environmentalist Karen Blincoe and the architect Peter Cook. Shortlisted designs this year include Castleford Bridge in Yorkshire, the Big Brother logo, Westminster Academy, Heathrow Terminal 5 Live Adverts and Barack Obama's election poster.

The shortlist will be on show at the Brit Insurance Designs of the Year Exhibition from 12 February until 14 June 2009 at the Design Museum in London. A winner in each of the seven design disciplines will be announced at the end of February. These finalists will go forward to vie for the 2009 Brit Insurance Design of the Year, to be revealed at the Awards Dinner on 18 March 2009.
