iF Design

As a first step, an initial jury will select the best 300 entries out of all submissions. Participants will be informed via email if they have been selected for this shortlist. At CeBIT, a second jury of international experts will discuss and evaluate all submitted entries, but specifically the 300 shortlisted entries in a one-day jury session. During this process, it will become clear which 100 young designers have met the criteria of outstanding design quality with their products. These will be the "best 100" of the iF concept award who will be specially presented in the exhibition. The most outstanding out of these 100 will additionally receive a cash prize. There will be a total prize money of EUR 30,000. The jury will decide on the distribution of this money.

If a jury member is directly connected to one of the contributions, they are no longer allowed to vote. The decision of the jury is legally binding. Legal recourse is excluded.
