The BETTER FUTURE Award Programs are a unique way to recognise the courage, diversity and excellence of the commissioners and creators for design projects. The Award Programs offer a distinct competitive advantage to those offering products and services, and help you stand out in a competitive global market. The Award Program also offers a unique platform for brands to reach a highly specialised audience through the Awards communication streams.

The Awards are open to anyone with an interest in developing products and services that are designed to have both, a commercial and market impact.
BETTER FUTURE Award Programs are marketplace-based: the project work must be commissioned, marketed or created in the same marketplace as the Award Program(s) you are entering. We want to recognise projects in the markets where they are relevant, not just where they are created. There is no limit to the number of Award Programs and/or categories you can nominate, as long as your project is eligible.

  • Boost team morale and demonstrate company pride in their work
  • Improve confidence in your products and services
  • Demonstrate that your business is listening and adapting to your clients' and customers' needs
  • Stand out from your competitors by being recognise as an Award winner
  • Network with fellow Award winners in the industry at the Awards Presentation evening
