With more than
11,000 submissions from 61 countries, the international “red dot design
award” is the largest and most renowned design competition in the world. It
is divided into the “red
dot award: product design”, the “red
dot award: communication design” and the “red
dot award: design concept.” The award-winning products are put before an
international public in the red dot design museum.
Each year an international jury reviews
and evaluates the submitted products according to criteria such as degree of
innovation, functionality and the formal quality. This ensures the
seriousness of the competition and its international acceptance. The group
of jurors is made up of renowned designers and design experts from all over
the world who reach their decisions on which designs are good enough to
receive a red dot award independently and impartially. The constellation
changes from year to year and guarantees a high degree of objectivity and
reliability.
The award is as a seal of quality; it
stands for membership of the best in design and business. The winners
receive the awards in person on the occasion of the gala ceremony in the
Essen Aalto-Theater, which is witnessed by more than 1,200 guests. In
addition, the annual “red dot award: product design” also rewards one design
team with the special title of design team of the year. The award, the
“Radius” challenge trophy, has already been received by the design teams of
many renowned companies, including LG Electronics, adidas, Apple,
Mercedes-Benz, Nokia, Philips, Siemens and Sony.
