Australia’s Good Design Awards 2021

The Good Design Award accolade, more commonly known as the Good Design Tick, is among the most respected and recognised international design endorsement symbols in the industry.

The Good Design Tick of approval offers companies a competitive advantage that leads to increased sales and point of sale differentiation. These registered trademarks are visible indicators of good design and a brand’s commitment to excellence in design and innovation.

Consumers can be assured that a product, project or service displaying the Good Design Award trademarks has been professionally designed to the highest standards and put through a rigorous design evaluation by an independent panel of design experts using a comprehensive evaluation process.

Recognised by the World Design Organization (WDO) as Australia’s peak international design endorsement program, the Australian Good Design Awards represents the diverse spectrum of design with 12 specific Design Disciplines covering more than 30 Categories and Sub-Categories.

Each year, the Australian Good Design Awards program attracts new and innovative design projects from around the world, celebrating the very best in all areas of design, architecture, engineering, research and social innovation.

Australia’s annual Good Design Awards continues a long and proud legacy of showcasing the very best in design and innovation to a global audience. The Awards are one of the longest-running international design awards, promoting excellence in design and innovation since 1958.

Entries represent projects across broad sectors and industries and cover everything from the design of everyday products we use, the services we interact with and the places and spaces we occupy, to the design of the processes and systems that underpin our businesses, industries, economies and social habits.
