Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design 2025

Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design 2025 is now open for entries!

Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design 2025 : The Red Dot Award Brands & Communication Design 2025 now is open for submissions and once again gives communication designers, marketing experts and young talents from all over the world the chance to enter their best communication projects and advertising campaigns.

➜ Short description

The next round of the Red Dot Award Brands & Communication Design, an international design competition has started and entries are being accepted for 2025.

The competition is divided into two sections. In the “Brands” section, companies have the chance to present their brand in its entirety. By contrast, the “Communication Design” section provides a forum where individual works and projects in communication design can be entered in different categories.

Works and projects that have been published after 1 July 2022 or will be published before 1 July 2025 and have not yet been entered in the Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design in the past. Projects that have been realised exclusively for participation in the Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design are not eligible.

All of the jurors for the Red Dot Award Brands & Communication Design are rich in experience and expertise. Every year, the international experts make a pivotal contribution to the quality of the Red Dot Label. Informed by the motto “In search of good design and creativity”, the Red Dot Jury assesses the quality of the entries and decides on the distinctions to be awarded.

The Red Dot Junior Award is part of the “Communication Design” section. It is geared to newcomers in design. The work submitted in the Junior Award must have been created either as part of a student’s degree or apprenticeship or – in the case of young professionals – as part of a commissioned project.

The winners will be celebrated in Berlin as part of the Red Dot Gala in November 2025.
