The Apple Design Awards are rewarded to apps that are well designed, innovative, and have technical excellence (here are last year’s winners). Here’s the criteria from Apple:
- Design:Â Well designed apps are delightful, elegant, intuitive, engaging, exciting, compelling, and reliable.
- Innovation: Innovative apps are revolutionary, inspirational, unique, and do things in completely new and exciting ways.
- Technical excellence: Technically advanced apps have excellent performance and make extensive use of the latest Apple technologies to deliver innovative, platform differentiating, and advanced features.
Cult of Mac just reported this year’s winners at WWDC 2011. For more pictures, check out this post over at MacStories:
