The UX Design Awards – Autumn 2026 is now open for submissions.

Companies, agencies, professionals, and young designers from around the world are invited to submit their best work for the UX Design Awards Spring 2027 until 15 November 2027.

The UX Design Awards are a global competition for outstanding experience design. Participants can apply in three categories, two of which are aimed at professionals: “Product” for market-ready or newly launched products, services, and experience ecosystems, and “Concept” for prototypes, service concepts, conceptual environments, advanced design studies, and research projects. The “New Talent” award addresses emerging designers: students and graduates may submit their Bachelor’s and Master’s theses.
“We recognize innovative and positive experience design across all industries,” says Ake Rudolf, Strategic Director of the International Design Center Berlin, the organizer of the competition. “A key part of our mission is to give visibility to the people behind the award-winning solutions—the designers!”

The submission deadline for the UX Design Awards – Spring 2027 is 15 November 2026. From all submissions, the expert jury will nominate a limited number of solutions for the competition. From these nominated projects, the jury will then select the winners. In each category, the jury may award one project with the UX Design Award | Gold, recognizing it as the “Best of the Best” of the competition. In addition, users worldwide will vote online to determine the UX Design Award | Public Choice.
