➜ Short description

World Design Impact Prize (WDIP) was established in 2011 to honour and elevate industrial design driven projects that use design and/or design thinking to make a positive impact on our social, economic, cultural and/ or environmental quality of life.

Eligible projects must:

a. yield positive impact and reflect socially conscious design;
b. be industrial design driven and/or showcase innovative uses of industrial design;
c. demonstrate design thinking in the planning (participatory planning, co-design) as well in the design itself;
d. reflect the vision of WDO to create a world where design enhances our social, cultural, economic and environmental quality of life.

Following a public submission and nomination process, a multi-disciplinary panel of experts selects a shortlist for the Prize, which is then voted on by WDO’s member organizations.

Projects should showcase the expanding ways that design can make a positive impact on the world, including the design of systems and experiences.

The winner will be announced during the World Design Assembly in October 2021.
