The The Sir Misha Black Awards commemorate the life of Misha Black and his contributions to the development of design in the the United Kingdom. The awards recognize individuals and institutions for their role in design education.
There are two awards: the Sir Misha Black Medal for Distinguished Services to Design Education is awarded to design educators worldwide, and the Sir Misha Black Award for Innovation in Design Education is given to UK-based educational institutions, organizations, or individuals.
The Sir Misha Black Medal was first awarded in 1978 to honor individuals worldwide who have made significant contributions to design education throughout their careers. The Sir Misha Black Medal is awarded collaboratively by Britain’s leading design organizations, and recipients are automatically enrolled in the College of Medallists.
