Who’s Grabbing iF Design Awards? A Fun Dive into the Global Winners and Their Hotspots

The iF Design Award is a planetary showdown, with over 60 countries throwing their hats in the ring each year. Since its 1953 debut in Germany, the host nation has racked up the most wins—think design titans like BMW and Siemens flexing their muscles. But the map’s shifting! Asia’s on a tear, with China, Japan, and South Korea storming the podium. In 2025, nearly 11,000 entries flooded in, and Germany and China tied for the lead, proving innovation’s got no borders. Judged by 60+ experts, iF is a talent magnet, spotlighting creators from every corner of the globe. It’s like the Olympics of design—minus the sweat, but with way cooler trophies.
