The next round of the Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design has started! The Award is now open for entries, for 2025.

You are invited to take part in this international competition with creative works and integrated brand concepts.

As a winner, you benefit from exclusive use of the Red Dot Label, which communicates news of your design strength in a high-profile manner. Furthermore, your project is presented to a wide audience via our digital channels, in the yearbook and in our museums.

In November 2025, the winners will be celebrated at the Red Dot Gala in Berlin.

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.

The Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design 2025 competition is open to agencies, designers and companies from all over the globe.

The Red Dot Design Award is one of the most prestigious design competitions worldwide. Participants can submit entries in three disciplines: products, brands and communication projects, as well as prototypes and design concepts. Each year, a jury convenes for each award category to individually assess the submissions and subsequently decide on the awarding of distinctions.
