The red dot design award dates back to 1955 and is now one of the world’s largest and most distinguished design competitions. More than 14,000 participations from over 70 nations document the relevance of the internationally sought-after red dot.

The “red dot award: product design” is the perfect opportunity to prove your design ability in an international comparison with renowned designers and up-and-coming talents. At present, large companies and independent designers from all over the world submit their creative work and compete for the red dot in one of 19 categories.

With growing competitive pressure on the international markets, it is now more important than ever for manufacturers to set themselves apart from the competition by proving quality rather than simply pursuing an aggressive pricing policy. More and more designers are also benefiting from the award. They are using the red dot to present themselves to their clients and as a visual aid that emphasises their own strength.
