Cooper-Hewitt Opens Up Nominating Site for ’09 National Design Awards

It’s about that time of year again and like clockwork, the Cooper-Hewitt has just opened the floodgates, asking for nominations for this year’s National Design Awards. Staying open for just a short while, until Monday, December 15th, you can hoist up your nominee picks for potential design award greatness, selecting from ten categories. And hey, even though we UnBeige editors might never have created something that changed the face of the world or designed something incredibly important and iconic, please feel free to nominate us for the Lifetime Achievement Award. We think we really deserve it. Here are the other categories, to refresh your memory:

Corporate Achievement; and National Design Awards in Architecture, Interior Design, Landscape, Communication, Interaction Design, Fashion and Product Design.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion‘s Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook’s Morin Oluwole, and bitly’s Tim Devane. Register now.
