02. Studio Design Award (SDA) Winner
Studio Design Award
The website "Travel and Work," created by IT+, won the Grand Prix, the highest award, at the "Studio Design Award 2024."
The Studio Design Award (SDA) is a web design festival hosted by Studio Inc., which operates the no-code web creation platform "Studio," celebrating websites created with Studio.
First held in 2020, this fifth edition held its awards ceremony at Hikarie Hall in Shibuya Hikarie.
From 48 nominated sites that passed the judging process, our "Travel and Work" site—which chronicles our decade-long journey—was selected for the Grand Prix. Since we hadn't expected this at all, you can tell we were incredibly nervous during the stage appearance and interviews (sweat).
