I am planning to join the contests under product designs.
Not limited to US, Europe and Asia.

  2. IF designs Awards
  3. IDSA

There’s the Braun competition. Unfortunately, they’re taking a break, but will return in 2012.

There’s the Core77 Award :slight_smile:
How about the Dyson Award.

Then in Italy there’s the Compasso d’Oro, and if you are US based there are the classic Chicago Good Design Awards.

To be honest, I have been to the Red Dot design museum in Essen and it feels very corporate, all this is to keep the for-profit organization running and provide you with a meagre marketing benefit of using the awarded logo. These awards are overrated in 2018.

The good news is, today is the 11th World Industrial Design Day!
This is a more neutral initiative by the World Design Organization.
The theme this year is design for UN goal #3, people’s social, mental and physical health.

So let’s pick the best innovation of the year according to the theme.
My pick is Zipline if only because of the impact of it, drone-delivery of medical packages across the country of Rwanda.

What is your pick?
