The application deadline for the international Design for Experience awards has been extended to January 19th.

As we’ve mentioned a time or two, UX Magazine is presenting the international Design for Experience awards.

Our initial application deadline of December 15 passed this weekend and we’ve been thoroughly impressed and inspired by not only the number of applications we’ve received but by the diversity and quality of the products, services, and programs represented.

Applications have come in from big companies and big agencies, as well as small companies, small agencies, and individual practitioners. A number of academic programs centered on experience design have also thrown their hats into the ring and we’re are excited for the judging to commence.

That said, because we received multiple requests for extra time completing applications—especially with the holidays and year-end deadlines at hand—we’ve extended the application deadline until January 19. We’ll be announcing our semi-finalists soon and will also begin our series of articles exploring some of valuable lessons that can be learned from the work submitted.

So, if you haven’t yet applied for a DfE award, there’s still time!

Gamification 2.0. Beyond Points and Badges: Designing for Players, Not Metrics. Chapter 2: The Solution
  • The piece argues that gamification fails when game aesthetics are borrowed, but game logic is not. Real game designers use six principles to bring real engagement: authentic mastery, meaningful choice, flow-calibrated challenge, rewarded exploration, self-expressed identity, and real social interdependence. The fix isn’t more mechanics; it’s making the experience itself worth repeating.

The Spiral Climbs: Ideas Are Expensive, Systems Are Cheap
  • The piece explores that design is no longer about designing screens but owning systems, bets, and outcomes. But the core judgment, empathy, and research are irreplaceable. I chain Miro, Figma, VS Code, GitHub, and Jira into one traceable loop from idea to learning. AI takes on the exploration and scaffolding. People own architecture, security, and accountability. A 48-hour operating cadence of small, measurable bets, linked artifacts, and documented decisions keeps speed honest.

  • The piece claims that most apps misuse gamification, copying superficial mechanics like points and badges that trick rather than motivate people, and that the experience itself is what truly drives engagement, just like good games do.
