COMPETITION
Dutch Design Awards are presented annually during a celebratory award show on the opening day of the Dutch Design Week. The awards represent the best Dutch design available during the period of assessment.
Members of the selection committees are searching the design field for the very best Dutch Design. Designers are also given the opportunity to enter their work themselves. It is possible to register for participation in twenty sub-categories of the main categories Communication, Product, and Spatial.
Are you a successful starting designer? If so, register for the Rado Young Designer Award. Last year, this award was won by Christien Meindertsma.
