“The Wired Rave Awards celebrate innovation and the individuals transforming commerce and culture. These innovators in business, science, politics, art, entertainment, and design are the people changing your mind. To identify this year’s nominees, Wired assembled an esteemed international jury who, along with the editors of Wired, formed the Brain Trust for the Wired Rave Awards. The nominees for 2002 have, in the collective view of the Brain Trust, contributed to the creative evolution of their craft or field,” reads Wired’s February 2003 issue (not yet online). The winners were selected by Wired editors.
The Apple OS X Team was selected as the Software Designer of the year for Mac OS X. See the complete list of winners here.
