NABA Communication Awards
The NABA Communication Awards are the first Italian communication festival organised and promoted by an academy. It was created with the aim of rewarding the best projects carried out during the course of study by students in the Communication and Graphic Design Area.
A jury composed of experts and professionals, external to the NABA Faculty and coming from the fields of creativity, marketing, design, advertising, and publishing, will evaluate 11 categories and 4 special awards, recognising the talent and innovation brought by the students to languages, styles, and communication media.
