The Global Mark for Outstanding Experiences
Our Mission
The UX Design Awards foster the impact user experience has on shaping our lives, products and services. Originating in 2008 as a show for good usability, we established the Awards in 2015.
The UX Design Awards present great experiences and accomplished solutions – across all fields and industries worldwide – twice per year.
Design is about improving people's lives.
UX design is essential for understanding people's needs and creating effective solutions across all areas of business.
By delivering products that work and people love, UX design plays a key role in improving customer satisfaction, supporting business goals, and driving positive change.
That’s why we’re dedicated to recognizing exceptional work in UX design and celebrating the talented people behind it.
Our thorough approach to judging – and the focus on a key design field – make the UX Design Awards stand out among other design competitions.
We promote accomplished design and celebrate the people behind it.
At the International Design Center Berlin (IDZ), we focus on sustainability and people experience – two core issues of our time. In doing so, we build on the expertise of our members in design and business, and our extensive partner network in politics and society.
The IDZ benefits from over 50 years of experience and stands for good design.
As an independent design association, we represent the highest professional expertise, with leaders and specialists working in diverse industries and design fields.
The UX Design Awards are central to our mission: to promote accomplished design and to recognize the people involved.
