A’Design Award and Competition have released their World Design Rankings (WDR) in Arts, Architecture and Design, with the United States once again taking first place among the 88 represented countries in 2016, with 396 design awards won globally.
The rankings, based on the number of designers awarded the A’ Design Award, were slightly different than last year with the Top 10 shifting and the addition of 5 new countries.
In the Top 10, the US and Turkey held the top two positions; China moved up from 5th to 3rd, putting Hong Kong and Italy each a spot lower than last year; and Greece was bumped from the list as Taiwan soared from 16th to 6th.
Five new countries were added to the list including Montenegro, Malta, Liechtenstein, Azerbaijan, Georgia coming in at 86, 87, 88, 77, and 76 respectively.
