Submission is also open to foreign design graduates provided they live and/or work in the Netherlands, and to Dutch designers who graduated from similar foreign educational institutes. 

Submissions according to these conditions are eligible to be selected for publication in Dd Yearbook. Our goal is to curate a selection that reflects the Dutch design field and educational programs.
