The next INDEX:Award will be presented in 2011, but until December 17 this year, the world community can nominate their favorite designs for the award. Nomination and participation in INDEX:Award is completely free of charge.

DESIGN TO IMPROVE LIFE!

What sets the INDEX:Award apart from other design awards is its focus on designs that have a life-improving impact. INDEX: is looking for designs that target and solve the challenges and problems of human life.

Anybody can nominate his or her favorite life-improving design for the award, which is presented to an international jury of designers, design scholars and thinkers, business people, and curators. The award, worth a total of 500,000 euro, is presented to five winners, which are each presented with a monetary award of 100,000 euro.

All entries are displayed on the nominations website, and a select group of finalists with between 50 and 100 designs will be displayed in the world touring INDEX:Award 2011 Exhibition premiering in Copenhagen, Denmark, in September 2011.

INDEX: accepts entries from all fields of design including communication design, product design, architecture, service design, interaction design, social design and greentech.
