About Competition

Australia’s Good Design Awards, one of the longest-running international design awards in the world, now is calling for entries for 2021!

Each year, through their annual Good Design Awards program, they recognise and celebrate excellence in cutting edge design and breakthrough innovation. The Good Design Award accolades are among the most respected and recognised international design endorsement symbols in the industry. These registered trademarks are visible indicators of good design principles and an organisation’s commitment to design excellence.

Entries represent projects across broad sectors and industries and cover everything from the design of everyday products we use, the clothes we wear, the services we interact with and the places and spaces we occupy, to the design of the processes and systems that underpin our businesses, industries, economies and social habits.

This year more than ever, the Awards hope to showcase game-changing design projects that improve our quality of life and contribute to a better, safer and more sustainable future.

The Good Design Judges consist of leading design experts and are selected based on their area of expertise and ability to bring an individual perspective to the evaluation process.

<strong>2021 Good Design Awards</strong> will be presented at the annual Good Design Awards Ceremony in Sydney on Friday, 16 September 2022.
