Entries cover a vast range of sectors and industries, showcasing everything from the design of everyday products, to the buildings we live and work in, and the systems and processes that support business and communities.

The Australian Good Design Awards embody the philosophy that design has the power to shape a better world. With a focus on recognising and promoting the impact of design on our lives, business, industry, and society, these Awards strive to demonstrate the critical role design plays in creating a better, safer, and more prosperous future.
