The VAND Design Award welcomes designers, studios, and companies worldwide. Our submission process is clear, internationally aligned, and designed to recognize calm design at every stage.
Including the designers of Apple, FedEx, Motorola, the Presidents of AGI and AIGA, and other world-renowned designers.
Designs that achieve calm through restraint. With the least presence, they create space for clarity and peace.
Designs that feel natural, imperfect, and handmade. They connect with people through honesty rather than polish.
Designs that evoke reassurance and continuity. Rooted in tradition, they give a sense of stability and confidence.
Designs born of reflection rather than haste.
They invite us to think, not just to look.
Designs executed with precision and skill.
Even without other qualities, they stand as works of mastery.
At VAND AWARD™, every design is judged beyond personal taste.
Our model defines five essential criteria that measure how design
contributes to human calm and responsibility.
This structured model guarantees that every winning project is celebrated not for taste, but for its enduring contribution to the future of design.
