Entries are open for the CDN People Awards 2025; the only design awards that celebrate the people behind the design
The Car Design News People Awards are back, and this year promises to be another extraordinary celebration of the talented individuals and teams who are redefining the automotive design landscape. After three successful years, the CDN People Awards continue to shine a spotlight on the remarkable contributions of professionals across all levels of car design, from the visionary design directors to the dedicated CMF teams and UX designers.
The CDN People Awards aim to honour not only the artistry involved in automotive design but also the collaborative spirit that drives innovation in the industry including categories for suppliers, students and educators as well as OEMs. By recognising the diverse talents that contribute to the design process, the awards celebrate the teamwork and creativity that result in groundbreaking vehicles.
Key details for participants
The CDN People Awards are open to those working in the global automotive industry. Specific category criteria can be found in the description for each category. Car Design News invites all eligible candidates to submit their applications for consideration. Due to last year’s event selling out, the awards ceremony will take place a new larger venue this year, Old Billingsgate, London on the 4th December. This highly popular industry event is a unique opportunity for professionals in the automotive design field to gain recognition for their hard work and creativity.
Entries for the CDN People Awards will close on 27 June, 2025, with the shortlist set to be announced in September. This year’s judging panel will include industry leaders and renowned experts, such as Chris Benjamin, chief design officer at Scout Motors, Tobias Sühlmann, chief design officer at McLaren and many more, ensuring that the awards maintain their high standards of excellence. The ceremony itself promises to be a networking goldmine, bringing together hundreds of car design leaders, influencers, and innovators under one roof. Will you be among those in the spotlight?
