We will publish the names of all the winners in the Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design 2023 in the Winners Section on 3 November 2023.
A few weeks earlier, on 29 August 2023, we will let the international specialist design press know that this year’s winners have been chosen. We will not name the individual winners at this time. However, we will assist media representatives in their research and reporting with winner lists for specific categories and countries.
We will introduce some laureates using Red Dot’s social media over the course of the year. We will endeavour to showcase as broad a range of different winning projects as possible to the public. Please understand that we will not be able to show all winners there.
If you wish to impose a communications embargo, please send a notification to embargo(at)red-dot.de by 28 July 2023.

From the award ceremony to the opening of the exhibition and the publication of the yearbook, there are some specific dates and occasions on which to announce the win or publish follow-up reports. We are happy to provide you with the following dates and information for this purpose:
The official ceremony in the Konzerthaus in Berlin marks the grand final of the competition year. The focus of the international event is on the winners of the Red Dot: Best of the Best, Red Dot: Grand Prix and Red Dot: Junior Prize as well as the Red Dot: Agency of the Year. They receive their trophies on stage at the Red Dot Gala. After the gala, a reception takes place in the rooms in the Konzerthaus.
You have the option to have a professional photo taken of you with your certificate or your Red Dot Trophy. The pictures can be downloaded on the night of the gala and used for any purpose you wish.
Good to know: Ticket pre-sale for the event starts on 11 September 2023 for the winners of the Red Dot: Best of the Best and on 25 September 2023 for winners of the Red Dot. You can ask your Red Dot contact person for more details.
On the evening after the Red Dot Gala, the official opening of the studio exhibition “Best Brands & Communication Design – Red Dot Winners Selection 2023” will take place in the Museum für Kommunikation. Red Dot’s partnership with the renowned museum in Berlin has been ongoing for several years. This year, the partnership will once again yield an engaging exhibition running until February 2024 that shows the year’s best communication design projects.
The Red Dot Design Museum on the Zollverein UNESCO world heritage site in Essen has five floors and over 4,000 square metres dedicated exclusively to products and projects selected by the Red Dot Jury to receive a distinction. Year after year, the winners exhibitions attract thousands of visitors from around the world who are interested in the latest developments in product and communication design.
From 14 March to 20 May 2024, the Red Dot Design Museum Essen will present a selection of winning projects of the Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design 2023.
Red Dot will publish the names of all winners online in the Winners Section on 3 November. With roughly half a million views per year, the page has a very strong reach.
You can find your project easily using the search bar on the left-hand side in the Winners Section. Share the direct link to your entry on your social media and use it to enhance your notices.
If you have already provided images or information to us but do not want these published in connection with your award-winning project, please let us know in an e-mail to embargo(at)red-dot.de by 28 July 2023.
The digital winners profile offers a new and additional way to present yourself as a winner in the Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design. Introduce your creations and visions here, demonstrating to a global audience your innovative and creative design prowess, for example using your history of award-winning projects. Once the winners profile is online, you are very welcome to share it with the world and link it to you social media or your website.
The yearbooks for the Red Dot Design Award provide a chronology of award-winning design. Since the 1990s, they have even beenpublished by Red Dot’s own publishing house, Red Dot Edition. In its current form, it summarises the year’s winners in two volumes.
Publication of the yearbook provides further proof in black and white of your exceptional design performance and offers another opportunity to communicate. As a winner, you can receive your own personal copy on request. For example, you can use it to stage photos for online publications.
Your entry in the yearbook can be put to good use in your digital communications, but the book’s high quality means that it also makes a good addition to your showroom, lobby or conference rooms.
The competition symbol is known as the Red Dot Label. It has global recognition, and industry experts as well as consumers associate it with good design. Competition winners can use it directly with their award-winning project or brand. It raises visibility and can be used online or offline.
You can download your Red Dot Label in the My Red Dot portal. You will also find the Design Manual there, which contains further inspiration and important information on how to use the label.
