iF DESIGN AWARD 2023
THE GLOBAL SIGN FOR OUTSTANDING DESIGN
One of the world’s most prestigious design awards, the iF DESIGN AWARD has been organized in Germany since 1953. The iF logo marks good design and is a badge of quality for consumers and the design community alike.
An independent jury of international design experts meets to determine award-winning designs, based on a set of objective screening standards.
The iF DESIGN AWARD 2023 is now open for submissions.
THE TWO-STEP JURY PROCESS
Step 1: iF Online Preselection
Based on the iF Scorecard (see below), jurors evaluate each entry.
We rank all entries based on the scorecards.
The top 50% automatically qualify for the iF Final Jury.
Step 2: iF Final Jury
The iF Final Jury meets in March 2022 to examine the qualifying entries.
By combining the online preselection scorecards with their own judgment, our jurors select the Winners of the iF DESIGN AWARD 2022.
