Now in their third year, the Brit Insurance Designs Awards have become established as leading design awards showcasing the most innovative and forward thinking designs from around the world. Last year’s winner, the unofficial Barack Obama poster campaign by Shepard Fairey, demonstrated the power that design can have even from grass-root level. Which design will triumph in 2010? The new 100 strong shortlist will be on display in the exhibition, many for the first time.

The winner will be decided by a panel of experts and announced in March but as soon as the shortlist is announced you can vote for your favourite at designsoftheyear.com
