Industry experts have nominated the most progressive designs across seven categories for the Brit Insurance Design Awards. The nominees range from Alexander McQueen to Zaha Hadid, and from Hutong Bubbles in Beijing to the BBC iPlayer.

It’s the third edition and the shortlisted categories include Architecture, Fashion, Furniture, Graphics, Interactive, Product and Transport. Antony Gormley will chair the jury, which includes designer Tom Dixon, editor of Icon magazine Justin McGuirk, graphic designer Morag Myerscough, style editor of Grazia Magazine Paula Reed and editor of Wired magazine David Rowan.

The shortlist will be on show at the Brit Insurance Designs of the Year Exhibition at the Design Museum from 17th February until 6th June. The jury will select the seven category winners to be announced on 4th March. The finalists will then find out who will win the overall Brit Insurance Design of the Year 2010 at the Awards Dinner on 16th March.
