2020 iD International Emerging Designer Awards

WE’RE DELIGHTED TO PRESENT A NEW CONCEPT FOR THE 2020 ID INTERNATIONAL EMERGING DESIGNER AWARDS, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTAGO POLYTECHNIC.

This year iD is working with the incredible talent at Dunedin’s NHNZ to create a digital production to showcase young designers from around the world in a sustainable manner.  

In an exciting first, the iD International Emerging Designer Awards in association with Otago Polytechnic has moved online. View the 32 finalists collections in a video filmed in bedrooms, hallways and parks across 14 countries in Covid-19 lockdown. This video provides a very personal insight into finalists as they introduce themselves and their design inspiration. 

The video will be released on Saturday 8 August 2020.

However, those in Dunedin on Friday 7 August 2020 can attend the world premiere of the D International Emerging Designer Awards Video at The Hub, at Otago Polytechnic from 7pm.


Join us for Quartz Reef wine and canapés, and be the first in the world to see the video celebrating young designers from across the world. Booking is essential, so grab a group of friends! Book early as tickets will sell out!
