Results keenly awaited: the winners of the red dot award: product design 2010!

Once more the award competition has attracted record submissions, highlighting the high degree of design consciousness worldwide. Designers and manufacturers from 57 countries have submitted products for consideration, hoping to win one of the highly coveted design seals of quality, the “red dot”.

Thirty international design experts from all over the world will travel to the 2010 Cultural Capital of Essen to assess thoroughly all the submissions on site. It is not an easy task: they have to examine several thousand products in 17 different categories and assess them according to a raft of design criteria, including degree of innovation, functionality, self-explanatoriness and ecological soundness. In each category, submissions are inspected by a team of carefully selected design experts who assess the products according to strict standards. Alongside top-level design expertise, the members of the international red dot jury are the guarantee of absolute impartiality – a factor that plays a particularly important role in the red dot design award competition.

The winners of the coveted red dot are keenly awaited: Who will prevail against the competition? Whose products will meet the jury’s strict criteria? And who will be honoured with an award and thus be recognized as belonging to the elite of international design? Award participants will have to be patient until the results are published in March.

We are already looking forward to welcoming the winners of this year’s competition at the red dot gala awards ceremony to be held in Essen on 5 July 2010!
