What is the iF Social Impact Prize
A new initiative – the iF SOCIAL IMPACT PRIZE – aims to publish and support projects that contribute to our society. Participation in this competition is free of cost. The best projects will be honored with a total prize money of EUR 50,000.
One is welcome to submit all projects that contribute to solving the most urgent challenges of current time and help to improve conditions – his/her CSR projects or his/her active support for a specific aspect of society.

When published, the project should already be implemented.
The size of the project does not really matter but the idea, the relevance of the problem, the target groups and the sustainable impact will be of interest to the online visitors. Every published project and the candidate as a company or organization behind will also benefit from the fact being introduced to a global design community, media and the design interested public. The project will stay online in the iF WORLD DESIGN GUIDE – without limitation in time and without any costs. It will be published in the collection “iF SOCIAL IMPACT PRIZE”.

However, unfortunately, student concepts cannot be accepted.
Categories: The categories of the projects are mainly the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United Nations.

The prize money of EUR 50,000 will be donated by iF. It can be awarded to one or split between several projects. In June and December 2019 annually rotating team members will decide the iF Social Impact Prize 2019 winners and divide up the prize money.
