The Aron Awards, popularly known as the Arons, are awards for outstanding works in design, given by the Interplanetary Association of Artisans and Designers (IAAD). They are recognized as one of the most prestigious design awards in the United Empire of Earth (UEE). Each year since 2779, one outstanding product and one outstanding designer are chosen for the award by a committee made up of designers from multiple disciplines. Some past winners have included Alberto Vara (2921) for his work on Origin Jumpworks' M50, and microTech’s mobiGlas (2818).
