Recognised as an authoritative platform for the best in creative digital design, over the past ten years, the IdN Design Awards have shown all the colour, inspiration, creativity and expertise available in the market. To monumentalize the achievement of organizing IdN Design Awards for a decade, kaleidoscopic age is employed to be the contest theme of this year's IdN Design Awards.

"First of all, I must thank all who have participated IdN Design Awards over the past ten year. With these staunch supports, IdN could bring the IdN Design Awards on to provide the Asian creative industry with an opportunity to showcase their outstanding work" said Laurence Ng, publisher of IdN magazine. "We believe this year's Design Awards, which is endorsed by Hong Kong Designers Association (HKDA), Australia Graphics Design Association (AGDA) and International Council of Graphics Design Association (ICOGRADA), is much more than simply a record of those historic proceedings, but will promote and stimulate the industry on a grander scale that ever before"
