The Red Dot Award: Design Concept is an independent and professionally organised design award. The funds collected allows the award to be organised at the highest professional level and to achieve financial independence, without sponsorship from companies that could participate in the competition or could have a motive for influencing the results. The award is also independent geographically as it is not sponsored by any government or design association. The award also funds and operates a design museum in Singapore that is dedicated to present the award winning designs to the public and industry.
