Evaluating design quality is not an easy task. The question as to what defines good design will yield many different answers. There are a number of preconditions that must be met for being able to evaluate good design: comprehensive expert knowledge, the ability to intuit future trends and many years of experience.
Each year, iF invites some of the internationally most renowned personalities from the areas of design, business and industry, and education to take part in a three-day jury session. Behind closed doors, all entries are scrutinized, touched, analyzed and, most importantly, discussed.
For the iF design awards 2012, 4,322 entries were evaluated during intensive deliberations. The jury eventually recognized 1,218 entries with an iF design award. 100 entries received an iF gold award for outstanding design excellence.
