The Service Design Award Submission Deadline Has Been Extended

Service Design Award 2020: Extended Deadline. Submit your projects until October 30, 2020. Be a winner!

We, at the SDN, have exciting news to share! Due to the postponement of our in-person SDGC to April 22-23, 2021, we have decided to extend the submission deadline for your Service Design Award entries to Friday, October 30, 2020, at 11:59 pm CET. 

The extension deadline provides potential participants with additional time to plan and reflect on what makes for an outstanding entry. We, in turn, will ensure that your shortlisted and winning projects are presented in the best possible light that you deserve. 

The SDN looks forward to seeing the results of your hard work over the past year and honour you for it during our 2021 conference. Our jury of service design experts stands ready to receive your entries and award those that demonstrate the utmost in service design excellence. 

The SDN is excited to celebrate Service Design Day (June 1) with our global community. This year’s theme, Do good - give back, challenges practitioners everywhere to offer their services out to the benefit of local communities. We welcome you joining this cause and in turn, want to offer up some great incentives to showcase how much we appreciate you and all the good you do!

Take advantage of a 20% savings on your Service Design Award submission as part of our Service Design Day special offers! Offer valid from  June 1 to June 5, 2020.
Discount is calculated and available in the cart of the Award system.
