It is our honour to have Adobe as a competition sponsor of the GRANSHAN Bloom Award, the first global competition dedicated to Communication Design Beyond Latin.

Adobe builds the tools designers everywhere rely on to bring their work to life - across languages, scripts, and cultures. Because communication design only works when it speaks the language of its audience.

This is what the Bloom Award is about: design that doesn't just look right - it reads right.

The GRANSHAN Bloom Award is honoured to have Google as our General Partner. Their ongoing support speaks to a shared principle: that communication design can only be truly assessed when scripts are seen through their cultural, linguistic, and functional lenses.

Through Google Fonts Knowledge, Google has built a meaningful foundation for global design literacy - deepening understanding of script-specific logic and the conventions of writing systems beyond Latin.

This is what the Bloom Award is about: design that is not only seen, but understood.
