Fast Company Innovation by Design Awards is a annual media recognizing excellence in Design. Organized by Fast Company, it covers the Global region.
Fast Company's Innovation by Design Awards recognize the designers and businesses solving the most pressing problems of today and tomorrow. The program spans categories from products and apps to workplace, sustainability, and social good design, judged by Fast Company editors alongside prominent designers and design executives.
Winners, finalists, and honorable mentions are featured in Fast Company's design issue and online coverage — editorial amplification that most standalone design awards cannot match. The competition attracts entries from top studios, in-house teams at global brands, and startups alike.
For design teams, IBD recognition carries weight with both clients and design-literate recruits because of Fast Company's mainstream business readership.
