Best Special Categories & Events of 2024
The special categories and events that won a GDUSA award in 2024, each with the firm and the designers credited.
9 award-winning projects
Event and special-category work is design with a date on it: a launch or a holiday that comes once and has to land the first time. The designer gives a moment its own identity without leaving the brand behind, and the deadline is the brief. The winners here make an occasion feel bigger than its budget. Bonavita Design's holiday champagne packages for Unimac have become an annual event of their own, and AARP's welcome box gave a new member something worth opening. The best event and special-project designers in the awards are on this page. Open any piece to see it and learn how it was made.
