The product design competition has existed since 1955. Its award, the “red dot”, is an internationally recognised quality seal. The best products receive the “red dot: best of the best” award.
The competition for design concepts and prototypes is held annually in Singapore. The highest award for the best of all concepts is the red dot: luminary which includes prize money of $5,000.
The highest award in the communication design competition is the “red dot: grand prix” for the best work in a category. The “red dot: junior prize”, which includes prize money of 10,000 euros, will be awarded to the best student work.
