Since 2012, the RGD has invited submissions of projects created under the theme of communication design for social good. The So(cial) Good Design Awards turns a sharper lens on design’s undeniable power to affect the way people and communities communicate and evolve by inviting designers to consider what ‘social good’ truly means and to inspire deeper conversations about their responsibilities as creative professionals. This international design competition celebrates the power of design to do good!

The 2022 Awards will open for submissions in late 2021 with an entry deadline of February 18, 2022.
