Entries are subjected to two stringent screenings before the wnners are selected. These evaluations are not just based on aesthetic form, but on how these products identify economic, industrial, and social trends to deliver a design that combines beauty and usability.  Honorees are entitled to use the G-Mark logo, recognized around the world for design excellence.
