The 2017 IxDA’s Interaction Awards is ready to receive your entries. I had the privilege of being of the Jury of last year’s edition, and I’m really looking forward to seeing what the design community has in store for this year!

The 2016 jury members took a minute aside on last year’s jury weekend to elaborate what they would love to see in future entries, so this will be the first of a series of posts to introduce you to the six categories of the Interaction Awards. In this video, watch myself and Amber Case (Author of Calm Technology) talk about the Connecting category.
