Clutter Magazine will bring The 7th Annual Designer Toy Awards (DTAs), fueled by Lagunitas Brewing Company, to Webster Hall on Friday, May 19. The DTAs will kick off the inaugural Five Points Festival, a toy and comic art convention curated by Clutter, on May 20 and 21. Morgan Spurlock, an Academy Award-nominated writer, director, producer and toy collector is hosting this year’s awards.
DTA nominees span North America, Asia, Europe, and Latin America, with winners determined both through a panel of industry judges as well as in select categories by the voting public. Fans looking to cast a ballot can help select the winner in six public categories: Artist of the Year, Custom of the Year, Toy of the Year, Best Blog, Best Toy Store, and Best Online Toy Store. Votes for these categories can be cast online through May 3, 2017 at noon EST.
Created by Clutter founders Miranda O’Brien and Josh Kimberg, The DTA recognizes emerging, leading, and influential names in the art toy movement, with past award winners including Amanda Louise Spayd, Andrew Bell, Chris Ryniak, Frank Kozik, Gary Ham, Jason Freeny, J*Ryu, Huck Gee, KAWS, Luke Chueh, Tristan Eaton, Todd McFarlane, Bigfoot One, and Ron English.
