About IDC Awards

As the most glorious design award in the global creativity and design industry, IDC Awards symbolize the outstanding design achievement that shows the power of innovative design. IDC, whose full name is the International Designer Club, is a group of elites with great strength and representativeness who come from various design domains and are gathered together from Europe, America, Japan, China and other countries. IDC Awards give full play to the bridge role between the international awards and competition designs, break the gap among design domains, and support designers to explore the core problem. Furthermore, the Awards are also helping far-sighted designers to grasp new market opportunities, achieve cross-border cooperation, create new values, and solve problems which are meaningful.
