The Sir Misha Black Awards | |
---|---|
The Sir Misha Black Awards commemorate the life of Misha Black, whose work played an important role in the development of design in Britain. They are given to individuals and institutions to honour them in their role in design education.
There are two awards – the Sir Misha Black Medal for Distinguished Services to Design Education, which is awarded to design educators working around the world, and the Sir Misha Black Award for Innovation in Design Education, which is given to UK-based educational institutions, organizations or individuals.
The awards were established in 1978 by six founding bodies: the Design and Industries Association, the Imperial College, the Faculty of Royal Designers for Industry (RDI) at the RSA, the Royal Academy of Engineering, the College of Medallists and the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851.

The Sir Misha Black Medal is awarded collaboratively by Britain’s leading design organizations. Recipients of the Sir Misha Black Medal are automatically enrolled in the College of Medallists.
The Sir Misha Black Award
