But how are the winners determined?

An international, independent group of 98 design experts evaluated 9,509 entries from some 3,693 participants from 52 nations. For three days, all contributions were assessed, discussed and evaluated online.

In the final judging step, each entry is evaluated by a group of three judges who have five criteria for which points can be scored. The questions help them to determine the score for each criterion. The average for each criterion is calculated and the sum of the average is the final result for the submitted entry.
