Registration Open for Red Dot Award: Product Design 2026

Registration for the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2026 is now open, and designers can submit products until January 16, 2026. In spring 2026, an international jury of approximately 40 members will evaluate the quality of the entries, and the winners will be honored on July 7, 2026, at the Red Dot Gala. This year, manufacturers and designers can submit products from the Gaming and Streaming sector in a dedicated category. True to the motto “In search of good design and innovation,” the Red Dot Jury will award the distinctions “Red Dot” and “Red Dot: Best of the Best.” The jury’s assessment is based on the four qualities of good design defined by Dr. Peter Zec, founder and CEO of Red Dot: a product must convince through its function, appeal aesthetically, be simple and intuitive to use and demonstrate responsibility. The award-winning products will be presented to an international audience across a wide range of platforms, and winners can communicate their award with the well-known Red Dot Label.
