2025 NY Product Design Awards Theme

Reimagine Tomorrow

Crafting the Future from Today’s Possibilities

Imagine a world where each product does more than meet a need—it elevates how we live, challenges boundaries, and opens doors to possibilities yet unseen.

"Reimagine Tomorrow" celebrates those who breathe fresh life into the familiar and those who dare to envision the entirely new. These creators, whether rethinking the everyday or boldly venturing into uncharted realms, craft designs that do more than function—they shape the future.

It’s a journey powered by unwavering progress, where bold innovation and thoughtful reimagination come together to build a tomorrow that is smarter, more dynamic, and intimately connected to human potential.

Be a spark for change and ignite a future where innovation knows no limits. Join us in making tomorrow a masterpiece.

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.
