Red Dot Award: Product Design 2026 - Young Professionals Application Day

Are you a qualified designer who graduated within the past five years? If so, take this opportunity to apply for the draw of one free registration for the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2026.

To be eligible for admission, the products have to be launched on the market in the period of 1 January 2024 until 1 July 2026 the latest. Please note, a participation on the basis of concept notes and drafts is not possible.

If you win one of the 50 free registrations with your product entry, you will be informed by e-mail. Afterwards, your product automatically participates in the judging process of the Red Dot Award: Product Design in March. If your product receives a distinction, you will benefit as a "Young Professional" from further services that communicate your success internationally visible: the use of the prestigious Red Dot Label, the presentation of your product in the Red Dot Design Yearbook, on Red Dot Online and in international exhibitions. Also included are two winner certificates and our media support. These services are included in the Winner Package "Regular" and are free of charge for you as an awarded Young Professional participant.

All you need to register for the draw is a short product description, 1-5 digital product images and a digital copy of the diploma (certificate).

The application is only possible on 19 November 2025 from 0.00 to 23.59 (CET).
