The 2026 awards will also feature the Paul Manship Medal, now reimagined as an enterable category recognising a single designer who acts as a catalyst for change, demonstrates foresight and innovation, embodies a lasting legacy, and has made the most significant contribution over the past 12 months to two years, adds the NPO.

A special tiered pricing structure has been introduced to support broader participation. Larger agencies and brands will pay the standard entry fee, while smaller agencies and studios receive discounted rates depending on discipline. Freelancers and one-person studios are eligible for even greater reductions, says the NPO.
