In the UK there is currently a designer of the year award hosted by London's design museum. And the winner is chosen by the public.

Now, in no way am I trying to influence your vote :D but Jonathan Ive (He who designed the iPod, iMac, Original iMac and as far as I can tell all other Apple hardware) is shortlisted, and my personal opinion as a Mac user is that he should probably win.
