Registrations for the 2026 award are expected to open October 2025.
The Honest Design Award is a credible and professional looking award that is free to apply, free to win, and free to use - on products, packaging, and in advertising - forever. Notifications can be signed up for below.
A useful award - credible and open
It is designed to be just as valuable and useful as the well known seals, without paywalls. Many paid awards also inflate the number of awards they hand out, so there is little exclusivity despite the fees. We keep things straightforward - clear criteria, honest recognition, and a badge you can actually use.
Who is this for? Teams who want a credible award to show with their product - no licensing traps, no hidden conditions, no fine print.
Sign up for a one time notification
We will send a single email when registration opens. No ongoing emails unless you confirm in that email.
