    The Joseph Binder Award is an international competition with a focus on graphic design and illustration and was first launched in 1996 by designaustria, the interest organization and knowledge centre for design in Austria.

    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 fourteen categories:

    • Corporate Design
    • Communication Design
    • Information Design
    • Type Design
    • Poster Design
    • Editorial Design Books
    • Editorial Design Periodicals
    • Packaging Design
    • Digital Media
    • Book Illustration

    • Commercial Illustration
