Nielsen Norman Design Awards
While we at Intranetizen have occasionally been critical of the way they apply findings from a small sample of winners to declare them trends across the industry, there’s no doubt the winners of the Neilsen Norman Intranet Design Annual are best-in-class intranets.
They recognise innovation in intranet design and usability, based on detailed expert review.
AWARD CATEGORIES
The Design Annual doesn’t have categories. In the annual itself all ten winners will be showcased, with their innovative features described in detail.
KEY INFORMATION
Entries open in May, and close in June. Details of how to enter are available here. As ever, it’s free to enter, but you’ll need to set aside time to put together a detailed application for their eagle-eyed usability experts.
