Earn Your Place in IS8 Web Directory
Every listing in this directory was earned through demonstrated excellence. Here is how you can join them.
A position in IS8 Web Directory signals something meaningful: your work was evaluated by an international grand jury, scored against rigorous criteria, and recognized for its merit. That recognition is what opens the door.
There are two pathways to get listed. Both are rooted in demonstrated quality.
Pathway One: Meritocratic Achievement through the A' Design Award
The primary route into IS8 Web Directory is through the A' Design Award, one of the world's most well-respected and established design competitions. The process is straightforward for accomplished work.
How It Works
Choose Your Category
The A' Design Award recognizes excellence across 186 categories spanning product design, architecture, digital media, fashion, packaging, interior design, engineering, and many more disciplines. Identify the category that best represents your work.
Prepare Your Presentation
Submit your product, project, or design with a presentation that follows the A' Design Award's technical guidelines. A well-prepared submission allows the jury to fully appreciate the quality and innovation of your work.
Grand Jury Evaluation
An international grand jury of distinguished professionals from dozens of countries evaluates your submission against predetermined criteria. Each juror scores independently, producing a collective consensus of merit.
Get Listed
If the grand jury selects your work as a winner, you earn the opportunity to be listed in IS8 Web Directory. Your listing position reflects your achievement level, placing recognized excellence where it deserves to be seen.
To begin, visit the A' Design Award website and start your application.
Pathway Two: Recommendation by a Meritocratic Achiever
If you know someone who has already earned recognition through the A' Design Award, they may be able to help you get listed.
Award-winning designers and brands accumulate merit points proportional to their demonstrated achievement. These points can be used to recommend and create directory entries for exceptional work and talent they believe deserves visibility. If a recognized achiever recommends your work, their earned merit opens a pathway for your inclusion.
Reach out to A' Design Award winners in your professional network and explore whether they can support your listing through their earned recommendation credits.
A Note on Listing Decisions
All listing decisions remain at the sole discretion of IS8 Web Directory and the A' Design Award. Applications and recommendations may be accepted or declined for any reason. Submission or recommendation does not guarantee inclusion. We reserve the right to determine which entries appear in the Directory and at what position.
Great Work Speaks for Itself
The process is rigorous, and it should be. A place in IS8 Web Directory carries real weight precisely because every listing is earned through genuine achievement.
That said, for good designs, strong brands, and truly innovative projects, getting listed is a natural outcome. The grand jury recognizes quality. If your work demonstrates real excellence in its category, the evaluation process is designed to surface exactly that.
Thousands of talented designers and visionary brands from around the world have already earned their place. Your work could be next.
Prepare a strong presentation, choose the right category, and let the quality of your work make the case.
