The annual Victorian Premier’s Design Awards celebrates the very best of design and innovation in the State of Victoria.
Design is a strategic business capability and an important enabler of innovation and creativity for the growth of Victorian businesses and communities.
The design sector is a significant contributor to the Victorian economy. In Victoria, more than 85,000 people are directly employed in design-related roles, with the sector generating revenues of $5 billion annually including an estimated $400 million in design-related exports.
Established by the Victorian Government in 1996 as the Victorian Design Awards, the Victorian Premier’s Design Awards recognise and reward Victorian designers and businesses that display excellence in the way they use design.
The awards provide an opportunity for businesses and the community to better understand the role of design in making products, services, spaces and experiences more functional, safe, efficient and attractive. The awards also help raise awareness of the impact design can have on productivity and business outcomes and the role it plays in helping to shape a better environment and society.
