Particularly in times of crisis a coherent brand presence becomes a survival strategy and successful communication design one of the most important differentiating tools in order to survive in the market.

However, good achievement always requires international comparison. With the “red dot award: communication design” we offer you the opportunity to have your work, along with entries from all over the world, evaluated by our expert jury, which awards the “red dot” quality seal to the best achievements. Face the competition and show the potential of good design with your work.

In order to take into account the increasing significance of design in the multimedia sector we have extended the categories this year and adapted them to current developments in the industry. Furthermore, this year the “red dot: junior prize”, which goes to the best work of a design student and comes with a prize money of 10,000 euros, will again be awarded. The honorary title “red dot: design agency of the year” will, from this year onwards, be awarded annually to an agency or a design office for its particularly continuous and innovative design achievements in the field of communication design.

Play your part and confirm the positive economic benefit of good design with your work!
