Arctic Council webpage wins award
Excellent work, said the jury in Norway’s finest design competition
The Arctic Council webpage was Friday awarded the Norwegian Graphic Artists annual prize "Visuelt". The webpage won the category Editorial Design and was awarded with Silver. The Arctic Council was nominated together with a private webpage and professional webpages from the television station TVNorge and the Association of Norwegian Architects and was the clear winner in the category.
"The webpage has a good structure on information and the typographics are excellent. The design expresses the geographical universe and the page is perfectly matching the needs of the target group. Excellent work!", said the jury.
The homepage is developed by Rita Schistad-Stensvoll and Svein Arild Myrer from the Oslo based company Bouvet A/S and Jesper Hansen from the Arctic Council secretariat in Tromsø.
The competition "Visuelt" is Norway's leading competition in graphic design, illustrations and interactive design. The competition encourages new solutions and high visual design standards.
