The Innovation By Design Awards celebrate people and companies behind some of the best and most stimulating design work in the world. This year, Fast company It recognizes almost 300 projects that are shaping the world in which we live for the better.
Every year, Fast company ‘The editorial staff S spends months studying applications, examining projects and, ultimately, telling the stories of the best designs in the group. Here is a look behind the scene in how we make it happen.
METHODOLOGY
Almost 2,000 applications were submitted to innovation 2025 for design awards. A team of editors and writers, together with trusted freelancers and external expert judges, evaluated each application based on our criteria, which include:
- Functional:What problem solves the design?
- Logical:Does the design make sense? Works?
- Shocking:Does a design make a difference in the lives of its users?
- Beauty:Are you carefully designed?
“In a world of innumerable new products and services, where little more is needed than an AI message to create something new, we believe that there is only more value for the practice of design and application of a critical lens to this work,” says Mark Wilson, Fast companyThe global design editor. “Our team of journalists judges each project for both their own merits and in its greatest cultural context. Through this process, our objective is superficial of the most relevant projects: those that matter the most today and in the future.”
Each winner is chosen after multiple rounds of judgment and conversations about the role of a design at the current cultural moment. This one -month process ensures that each project chosen to receive an innovation for honor of the design is representative of the best work in its field.
