The Indigo Design Award, launched in 2017, is an international multi-discipline design competition recognizing outstanding achievements in graphic design, digital design, branding, UX/UI design, packaging design, and other design fields. Each edition is judged by an independent international jury of design leaders from globally recognized brands and organizations including Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Nike, Spotify, Zoom, Roblox, PayPal, PepsiCo, Bosch, UNICEF, and more. With participants from over 50 countries, the award provides an international platform for emerging designers, students, freelancers, and small studios whose work might otherwise go unnoticed due to geography, access, or resources. The competition's philosophy emphasizes that excellence shines through the participants, dedicated to bringing world-class recognition and exposure to creative work that pushes boundaries, solves real-world challenges, and demonstrates the power of design to inspire and create meaningful impact.
