2024 NY Product Design Awards Theme

BEYOND IDEAS

Where Imagination Sparks Innovation

In the creative world of design, we uncover visionaries who do more than create products; they breathe life into them, endowing each with purpose and the extraordinary ability to reshape our world.

These trailblazers of a new era craft a profound bridge from dreams to tangible reality, transmuting mere ideas into captivating designs.

The NY Product Design Awards welcome those who gaze into the future with bright eyes, eager to shape tomorrow. We celebrate the pioneers who boldly explore uncharted territories, bringing ideas to life in vibrant ways.

Venture beyond ideas, reshape design, and forge the future.

ENTRY INFORMATION

The NY Product Design Awards is designed for the convenience of our entrants by way of online registrations and submissions.

Deadlines & Fees

The NY Product Design Awards makes every effort to keep entry costs low.

Rather than increasing the fee for each entry, fees are only charged in order to cover administrative costs like printing, mailing and data organization. For this reason, each participant is charged a flat $30 annual administrative fee. When all participants pay the same low fee, those submitting more than one entry will actually pay less than if fees were on a sliding scale.
