Who deserves the Ornamo Award at the forefront of design?
This year, we’re honoring the most innovative professionals who incorporate sustainability into their work or strategy. The theme for the 2024 Ornamo Award is Sustainable Development Innovations. Sustainable development innovations encompass new approaches, solutions, or products that generate added value and growth for the companies that develop and commercialize them. They also offer solutions to societal and environmental challenges in line with sustainable development goals.
The award categories vary annually, highlighting Ornamo’s strategic priorities. This year, there are two award categories: Design Forerunner and Design Utilizer. A jury composed of design professionals and stakeholders will select the winners for both categories. Additionally, Ornamo will recognize 1–2 final projects in the field of design with Encouragement Awards. The recipients of the Encouragement Awards are nominated by the Finnish design schools and universities.
The nomination process has ended on May 31, 2024. The award winners will be announced in September.
