Eligible projects must be already implemented, and student concepts are not accepted. Applications are free, and iF Design awards a total of EUR 100,000 annually, split between two rounds, to support the most impactful projects submitted. Each project may be submitted a maximum of two times.
Applications require basic project information, including name, SDG category, project start date, type, and tags, along with a concise description of up to 650 characters. Supporting media, such as images, a PDF file (maximum 5 pages), and a project video (up to 2 minutes), can be uploaded, and a web URL for public access should be provided.
