International tender launch
Companies, designers, architects and agencies worldwide are now invited to submit their products and projects for the German Design Award 2025. The German Design Award of the German Design Council sets international standards for innovative design developments and competitiveness on the global market. It only awards prizes to projects that are pioneering in the German and international design landscape and highlights positive developments in circular design. The award not only makes success visible, but also opens up a valuable network, international reach and additional market opportunities for the award winners. Registration deadline is September 6, 2024.
Whether digitalization, AI or circular design – the German Design Award platform reveals the contribution that design can make to the sustainable transformation of the economy. Today more than ever, outstanding design can provide answers to the challenges of our time that focus on the impact of products and services on the planet and our society – through multi-perspective approaches, sustainable and circular design processes or resource- and environmentally friendly production. The German Design Award has set itself the goal of promoting the diverse transformation tasks of our time through design and providing orientation for others through outstanding examples.
Focus on circular design
Starting this year, companies and designers can submit their projects in the additional category “Circular
Design” category. This is where particularly innovative solutions become visible that implement the current objectives of the circular economy and provide inspiring impetus.
The high-caliber international jury of the German Design Award honors these groundbreaking design achievements in three main categories: “Excellent Product Design”, “Excellent Communications Design” and “Excellent Architecture”. The German Design Award makes design trends visible across all industries in a glamorous setting.
The Award Show in February 2025 in Frankfurt am Main is one of the biggest design events of the year, where international guests from different industries meet and exchange ideas. The Gold Award winners will also be presented in an exhibition.
New category
In order to make future-oriented developments in architecture visible through the influence of artificial intelligence and digital design methods, designers and developers can submit projects, service designs and virtual architectures in the “AI in Architecture and Metaverse Space Design” category from this year onwards.
