WHAT IS THE IF SOCIAL IMPACT PRIZE ABOUT?
Our initiative – the iF SOCIAL IMPACT PRIZE – aims to publish and support projects that contribute
to our society. The best projects will be honored with a total prize money of EUR 100,000.
You are welcome to submit all projects that contribute to solving the most urgent challenges of
our time and help to improve conditions – your CSR projects or your active support for a specific
aspect of society.
When published, the project should already be implemented.
If you can answer one or more questions with “Yes”, you should enter your project
– Does it approach or solve a relevant problem?
– Does it reflect moral-ethical standards?
– Does it strengthen group relations?
– Does it create a positive experience?
– Does it balance effort and use value?
The size of the project does not really matter but the idea, the relevance of the problem, the target groups and the sustainable impact will be of interest to our online visitors.
Every published project and you as a company or organization behind will also benefit from the
fact being introduced to a global design community, media and the design interested public.
Your project will stay online in the iF Design Website – without limitation in time and without any costs.
Unfortunately, student concepts cannot be accepted.
WHO CAN APPLY?
Companies, design studios, NGOs, foundations, public and other organizations, social enterprises and entrepreneurs are welcome to submit.
DEADLINE:
The iF SOCIAL IMPACT PRIZE will be decided twice a year.
