Australian Good Design Awards 2025 : Australia’s Good Design Awards that recognizes and rewards excellence in design, innovation and creativity at a national and international level, has started accepting entries for 2025 inviting all designers and innovators around the world to participate.

➜ Short description

Australia’s Good Design Awards, one of the longest-running international design awards in the world that celebrating the very best in design and innovation, now is calling for entries for 2025.

This year’s theme, “Rewarding, Defining and Celebrating Better ______.”, invites exploration of what “better” means in today’s world – whether through better products, services, spaces, experiences, or beyond. From reimagining workplaces and user interfaces to transforming branding and buildings, the potential for design to shape a better world is limitless.

Each year, through their annual Good Design Awards program, they recognise and celebrate excellence in cutting edge design and breakthrough innovation. The Good Design Award accolades are among the most respected and recognised international design endorsement symbols in the industry. These registered trademarks are visible indicators of good design principles and an organisation’s commitment to design excellence.

The Australian Good Design Awards is one of the most diverse international design award programs in the world, comprising 13 overarching Design Disciplines and covering more than 30 Design Categories.

Entries represent projects across broad sectors and industries and cover everything from the design of everyday products we use, the clothes we wear, the services we interact with and the places and spaces we occupy, to the design of the processes and systems that underpin our businesses, industries, economies and social habits.

In addition to the design disciplines represented in the Awards, the Good Design Award for Sustainability is awarded to a project that exemplifies excellence in design for sustainability practice and circular economy principles.

The Good Design Judges consist of leading design experts and are selected based on their area of expertise and ability to bring an individual perspective to the evaluation process.

2025 Good Design Awards will be presented at the annual Good Design Awards Ceremony in Sydney, in October.
