From Recipient to Juror
“First of all, every member of the jury of course has to be a highly qualified design professional. At best the international design community should know the juror and trust him or her to make an objective, neutral judgement. So, being part of the jury, is a professional appreciation”
78 jurors from 20 countries selceted the best designs out of nearly 7300 entries. Watch the video and see for yourself what the jurors say, what the trends are and what they look for in good design!
I've always held the iF Design Award in high regard. As one of the world's most prestigious design competitions, the iF Design Award is a beacon of innovation, quality, and creativity in design. It represents an international standard for extraordinary design and outstanding services, making it a goal for designers around the globe.
Throughout my career, I've been honored to be recognized multiple times by the iF Design Award. Among these accolades, the most significant to me is the iF Gold Design Award, which I was the first Polish recipient of in the history of the competition. This achievement is not only a recognition of my work but also a testament to the talent and creativity found within Poland's design industry.
Today, I'm both excited and humbled to share that I've been invited to join the jury of the iF Design Award. Serving as a juror for a competition of such magnitude and prestige is a tremendous honor. Being able to evaluate and contribute to the recognition of groundbreaking designs is not a responsibility I take lightly.
This role represents more than just an opportunity to review some of the world's most innovative and high-quality designs. It's a chance to guide and shape the future of design, to encourage and support the creative minds that will create the products and services of tomorrow. It's an opportunity to participate in a process that sets the global standard for design.
The iF Design Award stands for pioneering achievements in design, and I am thrilled to be a part of this ongoing tradition of excellence. My journey from being a recipient to a juror in the iF Design Award competition is one that fills me with immense pride, gratitude, and anticipation for the inspiring works that I will have the privilege to review.
Joining the iF Design Award jury doesn't mark the end of a journey but rather the beginning of a new chapter in my relationship with this renowned competition. I look forward to working with my fellow jurors, to being challenged, inspired, and enlightened by the designs we will see.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the iF Design Award for this prestigious honor. I am truly excited about this opportunity and am eager to contribute to the journey of the upcoming generation of talented designers.
