What is the Danish Design Award?
Celebrating the best design solutions and highlighting the good ways in which design can make a difference for our planet and society, the Danish Design Award is the major annual Danish design event.
Who is behind the Danish Design Award?
Design denmark and DDC – Danish Design Center jointly present the Danish Design Award. The partnership behind the Award brings together the design industry and the entire country for an annual design event celebrating the difference design can make.
Who can submit their solution for the Danish Design Award?
All private and public organizations and designers with a connection to Denmark can submit entries for the Danish Design Award. This includes Danish companies that have worked with a designer from outside Denmark and designers in Denmark who have worked with a company abroad.
What can you submit for the Danish Design Award?
All design solutions can be submitted — from classic product solutions to services solutions and overall solutions, from products for the consumer market to products aimed at the business-to-business market and at public purchasers, from corporate branding and identity to derived solutions for interactive and digital solutions that combine classic design values with innovative design qualities.

The Danish Design Award winners and finalists gain valuable profiling and co-branding opportunities.
