2019 WLA Awards

The 2019 WLA Awards attracted over 175 entrants with a diverse range of submissions from across the world. With the quality of the entries increasing each year, it was hard for the jury to score the shortlist, as many of the entries were of an equivalent level of high-quality design and resolution. Often, categories were decided by a point or two difference between the top shortlisted entries.
