Evaluating submissions from almost 80 countries, members of the IDA jury commented on the incredibly high standard of design entries across the five award disciplines – Architecture, Interior, Product, Graphic and Fashion Design.
“The IDA has always been about seeking out truly visionary designers showcasing creativity and innovation. The Awards continued to attract thousands of entries in 2023, and the jury had an enormous task in selecting the winners from some truly outstanding design submissions,” commented Jill Grinda, VP of Marketing and Business Development for the IDA.
In the words of IDA Jury member Carolina Tinoco, Architect, Designer, Curator & Consultant in Eco-Design & Social Impact Initiatives, “What stands out is the genuine consideration for the impact on nature and communities, showcasing a heightened awareness and responsibility among participants.

It’s a source of inspiration and motivation as I contribute to the discourse on viable and impactful design solutions.”
Design Director and Co-founder of d2p Laura Mimini, noted, “The sheer quality and quantity of projects surpassed my expectations, particularly in the non-professional section. Witnessing the evident commitment and enthusiasm for eco and sustainability initiatives was not only impressive but also a significant win for our planet. Additionally, the innovative concepts and ideas related to medical equipment and solutions for treating various health issues were highly promising. The remarkable sensitivity and vision displayed by the new designs left me feeling genuinely happy and hopeful for the future. Kudos to all the participants for their outstanding contributions!”
