Short description

The iF Design Award 2027 now is opened for entries! This award is one of the most important design prizes in the world that has a reputation as an internationally recognized sign of design excellence.

First awarded in 1953, the iF Design Award is the oldest independent design seal in the world. It is a symbol of outstanding design achievements that focuses on the innovative power of design. Winning an iF DESIGN AWARD will help you stand out from the competition, elevate your branding and reach new target groups.

For a designer, winning an iF award can launch a career or take it to the next level. For a company, it can be the key to breaking into a new market – or getting valuable media attention and respect.

International design experts meet to select award-winning designs, basing their decision on strictly neutral evaluation standards.

Registrations for 2027 are possible in nine different disciplines (listed below) and 93 categories:

➜ Product Design
➜ Packaging Design
➜ Branding & Communication Design
➜ User Experience (UX)
➜ User Interface (UI)
➜ Service, System & Process Design

The jury will use criteria — Idea, Form, Function, Differentiation, Sustainability — developed with international design experts to evaluate the entries. Based on these criteria, the jurors will give scores for the individual aspects of each entry and provide the participants with informative feedback after each step with our official feedback chart.
