The shortlisted entries for the second round of the National Design Award of Latvia 2025 autumn application session published
On 20 December 2024, the shortlisted entries for the second round of the National Design Award of Latvia 2025 autumn application session were published. The entries were judged in five categories: products, services, communication, environment and digital solutions. A total of 60 entries were received, and the jury has shortlisted 26 entries for the second round of the competition, eight of which are from emerging designers. The highest number of entries for the second round of the competition came from the product and environmental design categories - nine entries each. Five digital solutions and three services have also been shortlisted, while there are no nominees in the communication design category this time - the jury's reason for this is that some of the entries do not meet the quality criteria.
