Sir Misha Black Awards

The Sir Misha Black Awards
Sir Misha Black Medal

The Sir Misha Black Awards, established in 1978, is a British award for design education, in memory of Misha Black. Two annual awards are conferred:

  • The Sir Misha Black Medal for Distinguished Services to Design Education, awarded to individual design educators worldwide.
  • The Sir Misha Black Award for Innovation in Design Education, granted to UK-based educational institutions, organisations, or individuals.

The awards were set up in 1977 by six bodies: the Design and Industries Association, Imperial College London, the Faculty of Royal Designers for Industry (R.D.I.) at the Royal Society of Arts (RSA), the Royal Academy of Engineering, the College of Medallists, and the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851.

Since 2020, the Sir Misha Black Awards has been included in the Royal Commission's portfolio, as part of the commission's aim to "increase the means of industrial education and extend the influence of science and art upon productive industry."
