The UX Design Awards honor the huge impact of accomplished experience design on shaping a positive living environment for all.
Design is about improving people’s lives. We believe only design that focuses on people has the potential to improve the world in a sustainable. To create meaningful solutions to people’s needs, designers need to understand their goals, desires, and emotions.
The UX Design Awards reflect the impact of user and customer experience design on shaping a positive living environment for everybody. Originating in 2008 as a show for good usability, we established the Awards in 2015. Ever since, the UX Design Awards have been honoring exceptional experience design across the world.
The competition takes place twice per year. It is open to products, services, environments, concepts and visions; as well as to master's and bachelor's projects from around the world.

UX Design Awards Talent Track: Award Winners | Maximilian Seeger
In his presentation New Talent Award Winner Maximilian Seeger walks us through his project “Jewels of the Sea”.
We have diatoms to thank for every fourth breath we take. After all, these microscopic single-celled photosynthetic organisms produce about a quarter of the world's oxygen. Yet, although diatoms are essential for the carbon cycle, they are only known to a small circle of people. This installation makes it possible to interact with digitally generated diatom models and examine the living microcosm surrounding us in real-time.
UXDA Jury member Oliver Gerstheimer about the project:
"JEWELS presents an ingenious interaction and experience on several levels: it enlarges small yet essential elements of life, making them understandable for laymen and scientists alike. Its hybrid and interactive setup brings diatoms – a species largely unknown to humans – to life in an impressive way, presenting their unique aesthetics and being in a didactic and playful way. The microcosm of diatoms is processed in real time and transmitted as a live microscopic image, creating a fascinating and tangible user a 3D experience."

UX Design Awards Deep Dive: Award Winners | Valtech/BMG
UX Design Consultant Christian Kilian and Creative Director Experience Design Stefan Sacherer will walk us through their award-winning project „BMG Production Music Web Application“ - a music library for film makers with over 300,000 tracks.
BMG Production Music Web Application won the "UX Design Award | Product" 2022. BMG offers filmmakers the opportunity to choose music for their projects from over 300,000 tracks. Until now, the search took place on several historically grown platforms for different licensing regions. The new Digital Experience Platform turns all this into a holistic digital experience focusing on usability, search optimization and design. Using the latest headless technology, the platform enables the integration of external services such as an AI-supported "Similar Tracks Search".
UXDA Jury member Ole Heydekamp on the project
“One of the key features of the BMG Music App is an AI supported “Similar Tracks Search” which allows users to select tracks from the catalog, YouTube, Spotify or MP3 files. This intelligent search function using various filters, categories and keywords empowers users to let their creativity run wild, and quickly find the best music match in the catalog library. The jury was particularly impressed by the solution’s coherent focus on the needs of a very specific target group. By applying agile development with continuous user testing and iterations, the design team created a service that is very user-friendly and supports task completion in a very efficient way.”

UX Design Awards - Talent Track: Award Winners | Milan Bergheim
In his presentation New Talent Gold Award Winner Milan Bergheim walks us through his award winning project “re:wet/peat:lab — peatland monitoring made easy”.
Peat:lab is a measuring device that greatly simplifies comprehensive peatland monitoring and thus aims to accelerate the rewetting of peatlands. This can save 7% of German CO2 emissions. The peat:lab quickly builds a digital twin of the peatlands, which serves as a planning basis, certificate and biomass marketplace and knowledge transfer. Terrain heights, water levels, peat thickness and vegetation composition via AI are recorded.
UXDA Jury member Werner Spicka about the project:
“With this award the jury recognizes the considerable contribution that this concept can make by enabling farmers to actively participate in positive climate change through technical, educational and financial means. Based on an iterative development process that included all relevant stakeholders this concept provides one platform for many formerly separated workflows of independent teams. re:wet/peat:lab is a great example of how technology and services can empower people through a holistic approach that also simplifies access to vital funding information.”

UX Design Awards - Deep Dive: Award Winners | Siemens Healthineers
In their presentation Alexandra Zahn and Anna Weidner walk us through their award-winning project „Pediatric Radiology Experience".
Gerda the Brave Giraffe is a holistic approach to pediatric radiology preparation that encourages children to enter an examination positively. They are accompanied throughout their Patient Journey and can actively participate in the preparation. Starting with the referring physician until after the exam, different materials help to reduce anxiety and stress of patients, parents and clinical staff and to decrease the number of sedations.
UXDA Jury member Markus Turber about the project:
»The character “Gerda the Brave Giraffe” accompanies children who need an MRI scan throughout a well-designed experience journey. The story helps kids become knowledgeable through print and audio media. This service is a game changer, as it shifts the status from affected patients to engaged children. As fear and powerlessness turn into curiosity and expertise, trust and patience towards the medical procedure grows, reducing the need to apply sedatives. Pediatric Radiology is a charming project!«

UX Design Awards Talent Track: Award Winners
In her presentation Mengxue Zhou walks us through her award winning project “Potential Newsfeed”.
“Potential Newsfeed” explores how invisible algorithms on social media affect our consciousness about information consumption. Through speculative design, three concepts showcase different dimensions of transparency and control how we can intervene with the digital system. The focus lies in using design artifacts and storytelling to provoke discussion on how the public, society, technology, and market could potentially engage in adjusting the direction towards a future platform.
UXDA Jury member Peter Post about the project:
“Potential Newsfeed” is a well-executed piece of speculative design, addressing the issues of trust and mental health on Facebook. It shows the potential of a power shift from the platform to people. But it also challenges users: would we be willing to pay for more control? Would it be OK if only the affluent could afford to block targeting? Do we really want to know how our friends, their interests and attitudes influence our news feed?
