Recognising the world’s most inspiring work across design, innovation and creativity, the A’ Design Award & Competition stands as one of the most respected and far-reaching international design accolades. Each year, a diverse panel of academics, industry leaders, and members of the press come together to evaluate submissions through a rigorous and anonymous peer-review process, ensuring every entry is judged purely on its merit.
With 175 award categories (plus many more sub-categories), covering every imaginable discipline, the competition champions everything from architecture and interiors to technology, fashion, and visual communication. Yet this year, our spotlight falls on one of its most vital categories: the A’ Sustainable Product Design Award. A reflection of the industry’s growing responsibility toward environmental impact and ethical creation, this accolade celebrates designs that prove innovation and sustainability can coexist beautifully.

Stay Sixty Refillable Drinks Bottle by Two Create Studio, Winner in Sustainable Products, Projects and Green Design Category, 2017—2018.
What’s more, this specific award is one of the competition’s most forward-thinking categories, spotlighting creators who blend environmental consciousness with cutting-edge design. It celebrates work that redefines how we produce, use, and interact with everyday objects, and each submission is judged on its innovation, functionality, and long-term impact, with an emphasis on responsible material use, ethical manufacturing, and circular design principles; acting as a catalyst for change, and inspiring industries to pursue sustainability not as a trend, but as a foundation for better living and smarter business.
For designers, entrepreneurs, and brands alike, winning brings far more than prestige. Each recipient of the A’ Design Prize gains international exposure through global exhibitions, media coverage, and inclusion in the official yearbook. Winners also earn a coveted place in the World Design Rankings, receive their iconic metal trophy and framed certificate, and are invited to the glamorous annual gala-night held in Italy, a networking highlight that brings together leading figures from across the creative world.
