The German Design Awards 2026 are now accepting worldwide submissions, themed Connecting Global Excellence. The initiative aims to foster engagement in design innovation, cultural continuity, and community connections through Design Masterclasses in Zurich and Copenhagen. As Frankfurt RheinMain prepares for World Design Capital 2026, this year's awards reflect the evolving concept of design excellence, emphasizing sustainability, usability, and the integration of modern challenges like artificial intelligence.
We're witnessing a shift in how design defines relevance. Not just in aesthetics, but in its capacity to negotiate complexity-whether that's circularity, artificial intelligence, or intercultural narratives.
Each year, the German Design Awards offer more than a snapshot of design excellence. They provide a vantage point on how the very idea of excellence is evolving.
