What Is The Red Dot Design Award?

The Red Dot Design Award is a German international design prize awarded by Red Dot GmbH & Co. KG.

Since 1955, designers and producers can apply for the prizes, with the winners being presented in an annual ceremony. Winning products are presented among others in the Red Dot Design Museum on the premises of the historical Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex in Essen. The Red Dot Design Museum Essen, the first Red Dot Design Museum, was built in 1997. The second Red Dot Design Museum was built in Singapore in 2005. The Red Dot Design Award had more than 15,500 submissions from 70 countries in 2014, and in 2016 alone, 1,559 Red Dots were awarded, 102 of them in the “Best of the Best” category.

It is split into two sections: Brands and Communication Design and awards the following prizes: Red Dot, Red Dot: Agency of the Year, Red Dot: Best of the Best, Red Dot: Brand of the Year, Red Dot: Grand Prix, and Red Dot: Junior Prize. All entries are assessed by the Red Dot Jury in line with the guiding principle “in search of good design and creativity”.
