How Green are you REALLY?


To many, sustainability is little more than a trendy slogan or the latest marketing gimmick. To leaders in design, industry, manufacturing, and the corporate world, GREEN DESIGN adheres to strict guidelines in order to shape an international agenda and the international community's attitude toward economic, social, and environmental development.
 
Both organizing institutions in Europe and America are inviting open submissions to honour design innovation and pioneering achievements in this 2025 Awards Program. Architects, designers, urban planners, governments, manufacturers, corporations, institutions, organizations, individuals, as well as individual products, buildings, concepts, projects, programmes, and technology are eligible for submission.

A professional jury in the field of sustainability will review submissions and examine their substance and pursuit of excellence and determine the 2025 GREEN GOOD DESIGN SUSTAINABILITY AWARDS accordingly. Awards are announced in Spring 2024 to the international press and public. Awarded individuals, corporations, institutions, products, projects, and programmes form a traveling exhibition in Europe and in the U.S.
 
We invite your application for this 2025 Awards Program. Nominations are also made by The European Centre's International Advisory Committee.
