iF Design Student Award 2027
iF International Forum Design GmbH — Germany
The iF Design Student Award is the sister competition to the professional iF Design Award, run by iF International Forum Design GmbH. Now in its 25th year, it invites students worldwide to submit design concepts (not necessarily market-ready products) that respond to one of the 15 UN Sustainable Development Goals covered by the competition. Entries are judged first by an online jury on problem-solving, ethical standards, design relevance, and economic feasibility, then by a final jury in Berlin that selects the winners of the EUR 50,000 prize fund. The 2027 awards ceremony takes place in New York City.
