The American National Design Awards, founded in 2000, are various awards funded and bestowed by the Cooper-Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.
There are seven official design categories, and three additional awards when applicable. Any supplemental awards deemed appropriate may be awarded at the discretion of the acting jury or institution.
History
[edit]Origins
[edit]In 2000, the awards and associated programs were introduced as an official project of the White House Millennium Council.[1][2] In 2025, the award program celebrated its twenty-fifth year.[3]
Jury
[edit]The 2023 National Design Awards jury, chaired by Dung Ngo, editor in chief, August Journal, also included Tiffany Chu, chief of staff to the mayor, City of Boston; Carla Fernández Tena, creative director, Carla Fernández; Noah Schwarz, director of product design, Herman Miller; and Sara Zewde, principal and assistant professor of practice, Studio Zewde and Harvard University.[4]
In 2025, the selection committee was helmed by Smithsonian Design Museum director Maria Nicanor and Maurice Cox, chair of the 2025 National Design Awards jury.[5]
Awards
[edit]The ten official design categories[6] include:
- Architecture
- Communication Design
- Digital Design
- Fashion Design (created in 2003)
- Interior Design (created in 2005)
- Interaction Design (created in 2009)

The three additional awards categories are:
- Lifetime Achievement

Past supplemental categories have included:
- People's Design Award (2006–2010)
- Special Commendation (Awarded in 2008)
- Special Jury Commendation (created in 2005, but omitted in 2008)
- American Original (Awarded in 2000 and 2002 only)
In 2006, the People's Design Award was created with the intent to provide the general public with the chance to nominate and vote for their favorite design. Individuals can nominate and vote for their favorite designers via the official website.[7] The award was last given in 2010.
Candidate selection criteria
[edit]Individual candidates must be citizens or long-term residents of the United States and have been practicing design for at least 7 years. For any corporation or institution, it must have its headquarters in the United States. The honorees are selected upon a body of realized work, not for any one specific project.[8]
Potential candidates are proposed by an official Nominating Committee and are invited to submit materials for a jury's review. Submissions consist of resumes, portfolios, publications by and about the candidates, and professional-quality audio-visual samples.[citation needed]
The award recipients come from a range of design disciplines, including architecture, landscape architecture, fashion, communications, media, interiors, digital, and production design.[9]
Objectives
[edit]With its public programs, including ones skewed toward students, the National Design Awards are meant to highlight how design impacts daily life [1] and "aim to increase national awareness about the impact of design in everyday life."[10]
According to the Smithsonian, the awardees "are recognized for design innovation and impact in improving the world."[3]
The program highlights a range of design disciplines, including architecture, landscape architecture, fashion, communications, media, interiors, digital, production design,[9] and in 2025 for climate action design. [1]
For Maria Nicanor, director of the Smithsonian Museum, the award series is about how design “touches all aspects of our lives every single day—from the buildings we live, learn and work in, to the physical and digital systems that deliver our basic services, the clothes we wear, the spaces we gather in or the creativity and beauty that help us understand ourselves as a nation—and yet design’s undeniable influence can go unseen.”[5]
The National Design Awards program include a ceremony and gala.[10]
According to Cooper Hewitt, the program also "connects the public with award winners through free virtual talks, workshops, resources, and more."[11]
