Danish Design Award celebrates design that makes a positive difference – and this year, we are opening the door to even more facets of Danish design.

Danish Design Award offers a platform to highlight the countless success stories found across Danish design disciplines.

Whether you are a student, a company, a public organization, or a designer with a connection to Denmark, now is your opportunity to showcase your work in the following categories:

Visual Design
Digital Design
Product Design
Spatial Design
Material & Resource Innovation
