This year holds significant meaning, as the leading design award in Europe, the French Design Award has consistently aimed to recognize outstanding designers, students, and design companies from around the world.

Evaluating submissions from nearly 90 countries, members of the FDA jury commented on the remarkably high standard of design entries across multiple award disciplines, including Architecture, Interior, Product, Graphic, and Fashion Design.

The FDA has always been committed to discovering truly visionary designers showcasing creativity and innovation. This year, we set a record number of nominations, and the jury faced a tremendous task in selecting the winners from some truly outstanding design submissions.

The evaluation criteria for the awards will place greater emphasis on solutions that demonstrate empathy, impact, and creativity, sparking interest and adding tangible value to the end-user experience. These changes align with our commitment to achieving better business through design and enable us to convey the idea that societal cohesion can be achieved through intentional co-design to different communities.

Designers possess a valuable skill set for the future, as our creativity and innovative thinking can have a substantial impact on products or companies. We welcome your support for this exciting new initiative and look forward to receiving your nominations!
