German Design Awards 2026: In Search of the New Global Design Vocabulary

The German Design Awards 2026 are now open for submissions worldwide. Under the theme Connecting Global Excellence, the awards extend an invitation not just to enter, but to engage—with ideas, with places, with people. This year's open call is accompanied by a new series of Design Masterclasses in Zurich and Copenhagen, created in collaboration with DAAily platforms, offering spaces to share, learn and connect.

They are both a mirror of our diverse design landscape and a catalyst for forward-thinking transformation across all disciplines.
