Each year, more than 10,000 product and project innovations from around the globe compete in 82 categories. Winners especially value the award’s global recognition, as it serves not only as an honor but also as a proven marketing tool.
The final registration deadline for the iF Design Award 2025 is fast approaching. Designers, agencies, builders, architects, interior designers, and companies have until November 6 to submit their innovative products, projects, and concepts.
It is one of the world’s most prestigious design competitions, providing an ideal platform for participants to showcase their work and compete on a global stage. The award recognizes designs that are not only visually and functionally outstanding, but also contribute to a sustainable future through eco-friendly solutions and innovative resource use. A panel of 132 international design experts forms the iF jury, evaluating submissions based on these criteria.
For designers seeking to validate the strength of their ideas, participating in the iF Design Award 2025 offers the perfect opportunity. Evaluation by a panel of expert jurors, along with the chance to stand out on the prestigious Berlin stage, provides both recognition and value, helping to enhance expertise and increase visibility on the global design stage.
Last year, the iF DESIGN AWARD saw an impressive 10,800 products and projects submitted by 4,970 participants from 72 countries. A notable highlight was the significant growth in entries from Europe, the USA, and Latin America. The increase in the number of participating countries, rising from 56 to 72, further underscores 2024’s record-breaking achievements.
Uwe Cremering, CEO of iF Design, expressed his delight, stating that the growth reflects both the current trends in the design world and the key issues in society. Out of all entries, the top 50 percent advanced to the iF Final Jury in Berlin after the first round of judging, which took place in December through an online preselection. The entries were assessed based on well-defined criteria, including idea, form, function, differentiation, and impact.
