2023 Contemporary Good Design Award ｜ Call For Entries!
2023-05-19
Get ready for the design extravaganza with a global vision in 2023! The Contemporary Good Design Award, open to designers worldwide, began accepting entries on May 18! The awards use traditional Chinese calligraphy as the core visual concept and the calligraphic character "田" as the benchmark, symbolizing the wind vane and measuring stick for excellent works to enter the Chinese consumer market. On this special occasion, we sincerely invite designers worldwide to join this amazing event, unleash their creativity juice on the competition platform, showcase the allure of design, and bring designers and enterprises into the spotlight on the global stage.
The Red Dot and Xiamen Culture Media Group joined forces in 2015 to launch the Contemporary Good Design Award (CGD), a platform that bridges design, enterprises, and global business.
The Contemporary Good Design Award boasts 50 tranditional categories and 1 metacategory, including smart products, covering product design, packaging design, and architecture and interior design. The metacategory recognizes those products that excel not only in design but also in specific fields.
Professor Dr. Peter Zec, Founder and CEO of Red Dot, called on excellent designers and companies worldwide to participate in this design extravaganza, foster global design cultural dialogue, and set design trends.
