    designaustria, the interest organization and knowledge centre for design in Austria, first launched the Joseph Binder Award - an international competition with a focus on graphic design and illustration - in 1996. It is named after one of the most outstanding graphic designers and illustrators active in Austria between the two World Wars, who subsequently also revolutionized visual communication in the United States.

    Joseph Binder’s motto was: "In design, everything has a function. Design has a representational function. Design has a communicational function. Design has a motivational function."

    The entries will be assessed by an international jury in thirteen categories:

    • Corporate Design
    • Communication Design
    • Information Design
    • Editorial Design
    • Type Design
    • Poster Design
    • Packaging Design
    • Book Illustration
    • Media Illustration
    • Commercial Illustration
    • Storyboard
    • Illustration in Miscellaneous Applications
    • Design Fiction
