iF Design

Whether it's about products, communication, packaging or materials: the iF design awards will still be held in these four areas. What's new is that all awards will take place at the same time of the year, with the same registration deadline and the same jury date.

From February 2012 onwards, there will be one awards ceremony for all iF design awards: the iF design awards night. This glamorous and exciting event will kick off the new design year and will support the exchange between experts, designers and entrepreneurs, marketing specialists and architects, representatives of the press and other communicators.

The awards ceremony will take place at BMW World in Munich, Germany, during 'Munich Creative Business Week'. In cooperation with bayern design, the Free State of Bavaria and the city of Munich, we will offer our award winners an unprecedented international stage - and the recognition that comes with it.

The traditional iF awards exhibition at the Hanover trade fair will be run in parallel to design-related trade fairs such as CeBIT and possibly two more shows. There will also be a new exhibition concept, which will again direct public attention towards the iF awards exhibition.

The iF awards exhibition will additionally be on display at Hamburg's new Harbor City for up to nine months each year.

The iF awards exhibition will no longer present only the winners of the iF product design award: all award-winners from all iF design awards will be shown at the two venues of the exhibition, in Hanover and in Hamburg.

You will have the opportunity to present your work in parallel with design trade fairs and events worldwide by participating in our international iF design exhibitions. You can choose whether you want to present your iF award-winning work or whether you want to show different designs from your portfolio that are targeted at a particular market or audience.
