The iF product design award covers all areas of product design. It serves as a platform for design-relevant innovations, thus recognizing today's globally networked world and its related dynamics.

Since 1953, the iF product design award has been recognized as a label for good design.

A continuous dialogue with manufacturers and designers forms the basis for furthering its reputation as a trend indicator for outstanding achievements in design and in design innovation. The awards ceremony for the iF gold awards, which honors the 50 best competition entries, takes place annually on the opening day of CeBIT. The iF product design award yearbook documents all award winners of each competition and provides an exciting insight into the world of successful design. Furthermore, as a reference book, it reflects current trends in outstanding design.

All manufacturers and designers of mass-produced products that have not been on the market for more than three years or that have entered production in the awards year, are invited to participate in the competition.

The iF product design award exhibition is open to the public each year from March through to September at the Hanover exhibition center.
