The European Design Awards Festival and Awards Ceremony is held every year in a different city. It is recognized as one of the most important events in the communication design calendar, creating an ideal opportunity for the most creative people.

Submitted works are evaluated by three specialized juries composed of representatives from the leading design media and institutions in Europe. The jury members are all design editors, publishers, critics, and academics who regularly curate communication design. This makes them the most qualified design award jury in Europe.

All designers living or working within Europe may participate. Designers in Europe may submit work done for clients outside Europe.

Designers who are not based within Europe may only submit work that was created for the European market.
