BDA Brand Award 2026
BDA Brand Award 2026 is now calling for entries!
BDA validates the distinctive value of leading brands.
As the first and only brand award in Hong Kong recognized by the Hong Kong Designers Association (HKDA) and the professional design community, BDA has grown to become the most reputable certification platform. This year, BDA is broadening their judging perspective to honour not only brands with outstanding design but also leaders across multiple fields, including environmental and social impact, cultural impact, innovation, user experience, and market performance.
Established in 1972, HKDA was the first and most comprehensive organisation of its kind in Hong Kong. It brings together practising designers, academics, and industry leaders to foster design professionalism, advance the design industry, and raise public awareness of design's value.
BDA firmly believes that design is much more than just surface; it is a powerful language that translates brand value into market understanding, social trust, and lasting influence.
BDA has received nominations from leading industry institutions, along with the support of numerous enterprises, industrial organisations, and hundreds of distinguished brands. Past winners include iconic brands and organisations such as AIRSIDE, Anta, Hong Kong Tramways, Chow Sang Sang, Hong Kong Science and Technology Park (HKSTP), TamJai SamGor, Maxim’s Group, and SPARKLE by KAREN CHAN. Through BDA, participating brands receive prestigious awards at the Hong Kong Design Summit, gain professional recognition, and receive millions of media exposures, which in turn greatly enhances brand authority and spotlight presence.
