Henry van de Velde Awards 2021

After the successful 2020 edition, Flanders DC is launching the Henry van de Velde Awards 2021! They are again looking for meaningful, innovative, functional and sustainable design projects with a Flemish link. You can register HERE until 24 May 2020.

Henry van de Velde Awards

The Henry van de Velde Awards recognise and honour national and international Flemish designers, companies, products, projects, services and systems that have had a positive impact on the economy and society by way of design, with a focus on solutions and direction.

The Henry van de Velde Awards are widely supported thanks to the shared vision of a professional and independent jury with significant expertise in the sector. With its own website, the official award ceremony, the exhibition and the publication, the Henry van de Velde Awards forms a platform for Flemish design.
