Shortlist (roughly in alphabetical order)

This time we had 517accepted entries from 203 international individuals/studios/collectives!

The 26 judges had to select their three favourite single badges and three favourite sets of three. Between the judges – and let's not forget that we were only after a total of 20 potentially winning designs – a whopping 174 designs did score points! But in the end it was once again the usual head to head race and every single vote counted. Hopefully we did not have any ties in the top positions and the winners could be allocated without flipping coins.
 
Stereohype would like to thank everybody for their submissions! It has once again been a tough decision for the entire judging panel. The winners are from Chile, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom.

The winners are:
1st prize (single badge): Johnny Winslade
1st prize (set of 3): Anna Jones @ Goldlion
2nd prize (single badge): Pietari Posti
2nd prize (set of 3): Sophie Raynaud
3rd prize (single badge): Daniele De Batté @ Artiva
3rd prize (set of 3): Sharon Kwong
4th prize (single badge): Marta López
4th prize (set of 3): Supersentido
Special Stereohype Prize (single badge): Jim Stewart
Special Stereohype Prize (set of 3): Denis Speh @ EcstaticSunrise

Congratulations also to all the runner-ups who made it into the shortlist of 56! The 20 winning badges are now available for purchase. The others have not been produced by us but will stay online to give credit to everybody who made it into the shortlist.

In addition to everybody on the shortlist we also feel we should mention a few outstanding designs which we would also have liked to produce but which did unfortunately not score enough points this time.
