Design creativity blooms in spaces where curiosity meets intention, where ideas are nurtured into forms that resonate and inspire. It's a process marked by exploration, experimentation, and the willingness to challenge conventions to uncover new perspectives. In this fertile ground, creativity is more than a spark—it's a cultivated journey, drawing from diverse influences and blending intuition with technique.

Celebrating our 45th year, the PRINT Awards celebrates design in every shape and form. And, as our industry continues to evolve and our practitioners continue to explore new mediums and methods to advance their creativity, the awards have found new ways to recognize outstanding work.

The 2025 PRINT Awards offer 28 categories for entries, ranging from Illustration to Motion Design & Video. In recent years we have launched the free-to-enter Citizen Design Award to highlight design work focused on one annually selected social issue. We added In-House, Design for Social Impact, Packaging and expanded our branding categories. And, just like last year, students can enter in each category instead of one student category. And, this year, our jury will also be considering entries in Social Media + Content Design as well as Title Sequence Design and Graphic Novels.

With a global jury representing a wide range of disciplines, each entry will continue to be judged on four key criteria: Craft, Longevity, Innovation and Originality. Top winners will be featured on PRINTmag.com and receive trophies, certificates and social media promotion.

Welcome to the PRINT Awards 2025—honoring the beauty of creativity in full bloom.
