Expand your recognition and success with the renamed GDA awards

As the world becomes more interconnected and complex, we believe it is important to broaden the conversation around creativity and recognize its impact on a global scale. While design is often associated with aesthetics, it is also a powerful force that shapes our society, economy, and environment. Therefore, we are excited to announce that the Great Design Awards is being renamed the Global Direction Awards. It's a great goal! To point the world in a better direction, it's important to focus on creating solutions that address the root causes of the challenges we face, rather than just treating the symptoms. This requires a long-term perspective and a commitment to sustainability, as well as a willingness to challenge conventional wisdom and embrace innovative approaches to problem-solving.


One key strategy for creating positive change is to focus on empowering individuals and communities to take action and become agents of change themselves. Through GDA, join us in collaborating with others and sharing knowledge to help to accelerate progress towards a better future.

By shifting our focus to global directions, we aim to celebrate design that goes beyond surface-level beauty and showcases a deeper understanding of the world we live in. This could include creativity that addresses social or environmental issues, embraces cultural diversity, or promotes innovation and collaboration across borders. Another important strategy is to leverage the power of technology and innovation to create new opportunities for sustainable development and growth. This can involve GDA giving recognition to research and development in creating new visions, as well as supporting entrepreneurs and startups who are working to create positive change in their communities and beyond. We believe that the Global Direction Awards will provide you with a much improved platform to showcase your work that has a positive impact on the world, and inspire others to think more critically about the role of creative thinking and design in shaping our future. We look forward to continuing to recognize and celebrate the best in global design through these awards.

GDA awards recognize that design thinking and innovative problem-solving are not limited to designers alone. Many other professionals, including engineers, social experts, scientists, and business leaders, also bring valuable perspectives directions, and expertise to the table when it comes to creating lasting solutions that address global challenges.

GDA lets you showcase your problem-solving approach that puts human needs and experiences at the center of the creative process. By empathizing with users and understanding their needs and challenges, original thinkings, creators, engineers and designers can create solutions that are not only functional, but also meaningful and delightful. This approach can be particularly effective when addressing complex global challenges, such as poverty, climate change, or inequality. Ultimately, the GDA goal is to foster a culture of innovation and creativity that values diverse perspectives and recognizes the importance of collaboration and cross-disciplinary learning. By doing so, we can help you to create more effective and sustainable directions to the complex challenges facing our world today. Apply today, and participate in giving us all new directions and getting the recognition you deserve.
