We Stand for Integrity and Excellence in UX Design.

On February 28th, an applicant whose 2026 submission didn’t meet our standards responded to our feedback with harassment, defamatory attacks, and cyberbullying—targeting team member Kendall.

In response, guided by legal counsel, we are pursuing charges and have boosted our security by temporarily removing social media and staff contact details. We’ve also updated our website and refined our internal processes to keep our focus on celebrating innovative UX design.

As a dynamic Silicon Valley startup, we remain committed to fairness, merit, and excellence. Just so that you know, all submissions are based on merit and support our community of creativity and integrity. If you have any concerns or have experienced bullying, don't hesitate to contact legal@siliconvalleyuxawards.com, and a representative from our staff will reach out.

This statement will remain on our website until the issues are resolved.

Thank you for standing with us.
