ICoD Endorsed Event Application

Each year, ICoD endorses a select group of international activities that advance our objective to promote the value of design. Endorsed events demonstrate that they enhance the standards of design, ethics and professional practice. For design awards, an ICoD endorsement is recognition that it has been organised to meet international best practice guidelines under ICoD’s policies and best practices – including jury composition, evaluation criteria and intellectual property protection.

Please complete the following application form to provide us with essential details about your request. All submissions will be reviewed carefully, and we may reach out for further clarification if needed.
