The Red Dot Jury
The key evaluation is carried out by the international Red Dot Jury, which is made up of journalists, professors and designers. They come together live to view and evaluate each submission individually.
On the basis of various criteria and taking into account their socio-cultural background, their professional focus and their design expertise, they decide which of the submitted works meet the requirements for a Red Dot, a Red Dot: Best of the Best or a Red Dot: Grand Prix.

The Red Dot Design Award is one of the most prestigious design competitions worldwide. Participants can submit entries in three disciplines: products, brands and communication projects, as well as prototypes and design concepts. Each year, a jury convenes for each award category to individually assess the submissions and subsequently decide on the awarding of distinctions.
The Red Dot Design Award has a nearly 70-year history: in 1955, a jury convened for the first time to evaluate the best designs of that era. In the 1990s, Red Dot CEO Professor Dr. Peter Zec developed the name and brand of the award.
