2026 ICIAD Award: Winners Announcement

Dear Participating Designers, Artists, and Members of the Global Creative Community,

The judging process for the 2026 International Cultural Innovation Art Design Award (ICIAD Award), organized by the International Cultural Federation (ICF), has successfully concluded. We are pleased to announce this year’s award results and extend our sincere congratulations to all award recipients.

Under the annual theme “Symbiosis of Intelligence & Cultural Reconstruction,” the 2026 ICIAD Award encompassed nine categories: Architecture & Spatial Design; Visual & Brand Design; Product & Industrial Design; Fashion & Wearable Design; Digital Media & Interaction; Painting & Illustration Art; Photography & Video Art; Crafts & Intangible Cultural Heritage; and AIGC & Computational Design. This year’s edition encouraged creators to explore the contemporary expression of cultural heritage and the possibilities that emerge when art, design, and technology come together.

Guided by the principles of fairness, impartiality, and professionalism, the jury evaluated submissions across five dimensions: innovation, aesthetics, functionality, cultural relevance, and social value. Following the completion of the review process, the official list of 2026 ICIAD Award winners has been finalized.

This year’s awards recognize creative achievement across disciplines and affirm the value of cultural understanding, original thinking, and responsible design. We celebrate the dedication of the award recipients and their exploration of how art and design can connect cultural traditions with contemporary life.
