Categories

The red dot is awarded in three different categories:

Product design / design team

The oldest of the three awards, the "red dot award: product design" had been known as "Design Innovationen" until 2000. The competition is open to several fields of manufacturing, including, but not limited to furniture, home appliances, machines, cars and tools. The product design ceremony also honors the most successful design teams over a period of time. Winners in the latter category have included Apple Computers in 2001, BMW Group in 2007 and the Bose Design Center in 2008.

Communication design

Since 1993, the "red dot award: communication design" is awarded for outstanding achievements in the fields of corporate design, advertising, interactive media or sound design.

Design concept

Since 2005, the "red dot design museum Singapore" also awards a prize for whole design concepts.

Number of applicants

The number of applicants has been rising steadily, as has been the number of awards. In 2007, there were over 2500 submissions from 43 countries for the product design prize (with 623 winning) and over 3800 submissions for the communication design prize (with 336 winning).
