Designverse Awards 2026-2027 is an international design competition organized by the Designverse Awards Organizing Committee and positioned as a data-driven research award for the wider design ecosystem. It recognizes contributions across space design, product design and social innovation, with entries divided into five main categories: Space, Space - Concept, Product, Product - Concept, and Brands/Major Events.
The competition covers a broad range of professional fields, including architecture, landscape and interior design, technical and professional consultancy, product and product-brand design, as well as design-related brands and major events. Its evaluation system combines Designverse platform data, rankings, search information and broader public-opinion analysis with final voting by a 36-member international jury.
Designverse Awards aims to connect global design resources and build a data-driven system for assessing design value. Final jury evaluation emphasizes innovation, sustainability and social impact, while the wider Designverse ecosystem supports the presentation, intellectual-property protection and long-term digital visibility of participating work.
