The iF Social Impact Prize rewards projects that help solve urgent global challenges and improve society, aligning with the United Nations sustainable development goals. The competition is open to organisations and entrepreneurs whose projects are already established and integrate thoughtful design principles. Winners share an annual endowment of 100,000 euros and gain international visibility on the iF Design platform. Participation is free and takes place through an online platform requiring account creation. Applicants must submit a detailed description, visuals and the contact details of the partners involved. The deadline is 19 August 2026. Documenting measured social impact strengthens the entry, and because entry is free and the visibility is international, it is worth clearly documenting the results already achieved and the role design played.
