From now on, the categories of the iF DESIGN TALENT AWARD 2020 correspond to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (SDGs).

Students and recent graduates of all design-related courses are invited to submit their ideas and concepts free of charge. An independent international jury of design experts will judge all submitted concepts and will honor the most outstanding works with a total of EUR 20,000 in prize money (per round).

The Categories (SDGs 1 to 15):

End Poverty / Zero Hunger / Good Health and Well-being / Quality Education / Gender Equality / Clean Water and Sanitation / Affordable and Clean Energy / Decent Work and Economic Growth / Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure / Reduced Inequalities / Sustainable Cities and Communities / Responsible Consumption and Production / Climate Action / Life below Water / Life on Land
