The 2026 DesignTO Awards recognize design excellence at the DesignTO Festival, Canada’s leading and largest annual design festival that celebrates design as a multidisciplinary form of creative thinking and making. The DesignTO Awards celebrates the talent, expression, and diversity of designers from Toronto and abroad.

The 2026 Festival offers a unique opportunity for attendees to engage meaningfully with industrial design.

Experiential design bridges the physical and digital, the sensory and social, transforming everyday spaces into memorable encounters.

When design moves beyond form and function, it becomes a way to ask deeper questions: Who are we? What do we carry with us? And how do we care for ourselves and one another?
