The Fast Company Innovation by Design Awards honor the designers and businesses solving the problems of today and tomorrow. The competition has featured a cross-section of blue-chip companies, scruffy startups, and hungry young talents. It is one of the most sought-after design awards in the industry.
The categories are judged by a sterling selection of designers, business leaders, and Fast Company editors. Entries are judged on the key ingredients of innovation: functionality, originality, beauty, sustainability, depth of user insight, cultural impact, and business impact.
Entrants stand to gain superb exposure on Fast Company: Finalists will appear in the September issue of Fast Company magazine; winners will be celebrated at Fast Company's Innovation Festival this fall, and receive a complimentary pass, and both winners and finalists will be listed in an online directory of the world’s best design-driven companies.
