Companies, designers, architects, and agencies worldwide are invited to submit their work for the German Design Awards 2024. The Awards by the German Design Council set an international standard for original developments in design and competitiveness on the global market, where the awards provide the winners with access to networking, international reach, and professional opportunities.

The German Design Council has been operating since 1953 as one of the world’s leading centers of expertise in communication and knowledge transfer within design and branding. It is part of the worldwide design community and has always contributed to the establishment of global exchange and networking thanks to its international offering, promotion of new talent and memberships.

In 2023, 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 and environmentally friendly. The international jury of experts for the German Design Awards 2024 distinguishes ground-breaking design achievements as the Awards provide trends with visibility across all sectors.

The award show in Frankfurt am Main in January 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 are also presented in an exhibition. In addition, top performances in the categories of Excellent Product Design, Excellent Communications Design and Excellent Architecture are honored, too.
