"Critics Choice" Time Out

Now in their third year, the Brit Insurance Designs Awards, "the Oscars of the design world," showcase the most innovative and forward thinking designs from around the world. Last year's winner, the unofficial Barack Obama poster campaign by Shepard Fairey, demonstrated the power that design can have at a grass-root level. Which design will triumph in 2010?

Due to the overwhelming demand the exhibition has been extended and will now run through to 31 October 2010.
