The International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA®) program is the premier international competition honoring design excellence in products, ecodesign, interaction design, packaging, strategy, research and concepts. Entries are invited from designers, students and companies worldwide.
Winning entries receive coverage in hundreds of print and broadcast media around the world. IDSA has been honoring design excellence through the IDEA program since 1980. IDEA was formerly known as the Industrial Design Excellence Awards. The name changed in 2007 to emphasize the international reach and influence of the competition.
