Green Product Award 2027

The Green Product Award is an international competition for sustainable products, services and design concepts, organised by the Green Future Club in Berlin. Companies, start-ups, designers and students submit work in 14 categories, from consumer goods and furniture to packaging, mobility and new materials, and an expert jury judges them on design, innovation and sustainability. For students and graduates of the last six months, entry to the Green Concept Award is free. The final deadline for 2027 is 17 January 2027, and the winners are presented at a ceremony in Berlin at the end of March.

The award attracts submissions from more than 50 countries and is one of the best-known design awards focused on sustainability.

How Entries Are Judged

The jury assesses each entry on its overall quality, approach, elaboration, impact, market potential, design, innovation and sustainability. A public vote also runs from December to January.

Submission Requirements

Submit online through the Green Product Award website, with images and a description of your product or concept, and its sustainable approach. Students should prepare proof of their status or graduation date.

About the Green Concept Award

The Green Concept Award is the part of the programme dedicated to ideas that are not yet on the market. Students, graduates and young designers can submit concepts, prototypes and research projects in any of the 14 categories, and they are judged with the same criteria as finished products: how well the idea is developed, its potential impact and how convincingly it is designed. Finalists are presented alongside established brands, which gives a student project rare exposure to manufacturers, investors and the design press.

Why Enter?

For students, a free international competition focused on sustainability is a rare opportunity: a finalist place gives a graduation project visibility with companies and press, and the jury feedback is valuable in itself. For companies, the seal helps communicate sustainable credentials to buyers and customers.

Things to Consider

• Explain the sustainability clearly. Materials, life cycle, repair and end of life matter as much as appearance.
• Show the product in use. Good photographs and diagrams help the jury.
• Choose the right category. The same project may fit more than one.
• Use the public vote. Share your entry with your network during the voting period.
• Students: enter before 17 January 2027; entry is free.
