iF Hannover

iF is a service provider in connection with design-relevant tasks. iF is known around the globe for its iF design award which has been presented annually ever since 1954. It is one of the most important design competitions in the world and receives 1,800 entries from 30 countries each year. The jury consists of international top designers who not only select the award-winner of the year, but -- with their names -- demonstrate the special position of iF and of the iF label which is known as a sign of quality. Know-how about the organisation of competition, tenders or pitches is one of the core competences which iF also provides to enterprises, institutes and political parties as a service. More often than not, design issues, architecture competitions, the assignment of advertising budgets and other subjects connected to creative services are in demand.
