Background

What are the Faces of Design TALENT Awards about? Simply put: the Awards are about you.

At Faces of Design, we are constantly stunned by the quality of design talent out there – and even more so by how many amazing designers do not get the recognition they deserve. To address this issue, and to raise the visibility of great design talents worldwide, we have created the Faces of Design Awards.

Join the Faces of Design TALENT Awards for your first chance to shine, and to have your work showcased to international design leaders right at the beginning of your career – including manufacturers, design studios, journalists and design associations.

In two competition rounds, leading international design experts from a wide range of backgrounds review your work. We then actively promote the 25 best candidates by discipline and their work to opinion leaders, the press and potential employers/clients around the world.

Please see here for the full list of manufacturers, design studios and design galleries that will receive the winners’ publication; in addition, the winners' profiles will be shared with the international design press, as well as key international design institutions.
