Red Dot Award: Product Design 2024

Focus on innovations

Set the right focus and show the jury your innovations!

From 4 September 2023, you can register your innovative products for the Red Dot Award: Product Design. Whether technical optimisation, a different form, the use of an innovative material or a revolutionary approach to use – show the jury what your product has to offer.

If you enter your product in the metacategory “Innovative Products”, you even have the chance to win two awards in the competition, as you also enter your innovation twice – once in one of the classic categories and once in the metacategory. The second submission gives you the opportunity to set a focus on the innovative features of your product. Both entries will then be intensively evaluated by the Red Dot Jury: During the first round, the experts will evaluate your product in terms of its comprehensive design. In the second walkthrough, the focus is on the innovation specified by you.
