Hello, our Wikinewsies:

I've contacted with executives from "iF", they send this information for me, because theirs main language is mostly in Germen, I need some help from European users to make this information clear.

I will consider to write an article about the iF design award. In this e-mail is the official release, the correct version can be found at http://www.ifdesign.de/presse_detail_e.html?pmid=350

Regards, Rico C. Shen.
