Since 2007, the MARIO HERNÁNDEZ Award has been one of the most important creative awards in Colombia. An event that encourages the inventive capacity of the country's emerging talents by promoting in them the development of projects in which they can test the skills acquired during their time in their studies. 15 years of supporting young Colombian creatives through a series of awards that transform creative students into creative executives in five categories: product, graphic design, architecture, audiovisual and experience.

The award winners will receive IED scholarships for 2022 summer courses at IED Spain campuses.

The Mario Hernández brand was founded in Bogotá in July 1978 and today it has become one of the most prominent brands in the region. In 1998, it launched its first butterfly-inspired collection, a concept that has remained an icon of the company to this day.

IED has been collaborating with this initiative for several years and recognizes the value of the young talents that participate and the contribution and impact of the award in the sector.

In addition to the scholarships granted by IED, one of our most outstanding teachers, Moisés Nieto, will give a conference "How to build a successful brand from scratch" where he will tell us about his experience and career in creating one of the most iconic brands in Spain. “Talent, creativity and our own DNA are the necessary tools to build a solid and successful brand in any type of project. Knowing how to seek in ourselves the skills and knowledge to build a strong identity and make our dreams come true in the world of design.”

Moisés is a young designer who represents the new generation of the "Country Brand-Spain", he has innovated and developed a successful brand at an international level, he has among his main clients different personalities at an international level and among them Queen Letizia of Spain.
