A NEW WAY OF JUDGING
The iF SCORECARD

The iF DESIGN AWARD Jury evaluates all entries using five updated criteria (Idea, Form, Function, Differentiation, Impact) developed together with a team of international design experts. Based on these criteria, the jurors will award points to each entry and provide each participant with detailed and informative feedback.
How will jurors use the criteria to judge the entries?
