Since 1955, designers and producers can apply for the prizes with the winners being presented in an annual ceremony.

Winning products are presented in the Red Dot Design Museum on the premises of the historical Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex in Essen.

Product design as a verb is to create a new product to be sold by a business to its customers.

A very broad concept, it is essentially the efficient and effective generation and development of ideas through a process that leads to new products.

Communication Design is a mixed discipline between design and information-development which is concerned with how media intervention such as printed, crafted, electronic media or presentations communicate with people.

A communication design approach is not only concerned with developing the message aside from the aesthetics in media, but also with creating new media channels to ensure the message reaches the target audience.

Some designers use graphic design and communication design interchangeably due to overlapping skills.

An architectural design competition is a type of competition in which an organization that intends on constructing a new building invites architects to submit design proposals.

The winning design is usually chosen by an independent panel of design professionals and stakeholders (such as government and local representatives).

This procedure is often used to generate new ideas for building design, to stimulate public debate, generate publicity for the project, and allow emerging designers the opportunity to gain exposure.

Architecture competitions are often used to award commissions for public buildings: in some countries rules for tendering public building contracts stipulate some form of mandatory open architectural competition.
