The German Design Awards have made supporting the diverse transformative challenges of our time through design its goal, for the reason that outstanding examples provide inspiration to others. Now more than ever before, meeting current demands means focusing on society and the impact that products and services have on it: through multi-perspective approaches, sustainable design processes and production that is both resource friendly and environmentally friendly. The top-class international jury for the German Design Awards will distinguish these ground-breaking design achievements; the Award provides design trends with visibility across all sectors in a glamourous context.
The award ceremony in Frankfurt am Main in February 2024 is among the largest design events of the year, where international guests from diverse industries can come together and exchange ideas. The “Gold” award winners will also then be presented in an exhibition.

Top performances in the categories of “Excellent Product Design” “Excellent Communications Design” and “Excellent Architecture” will be honoured.
