The award was conceived in 1988 and unveiled by then Prime Minister of Singapore, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew at the first Singapore International Design Forum. It honours outstanding individuals and companies for creating innovative designs and applying a human-centric approach. This year, we’ve changed the game to acknowledge the evolution of a designer’s role.

Designers have a natural problem-solving ability that combines creativity with innovative thinking – and they are paramount in creating designs that can help tackle problems in our society.In partnership with The Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment and The Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, the awards have been redesigned to be relevant to the current challenges that Singapore is facing whilst being a launchpad for designers to turn them into opportunities for brilliant design solutions.
