London Video Awards

The London Video Award category recognises professional videos developed as a design discipline, where concept development, visual structure, motion systems, composition, and execution are driven by clear design intent. This category honours design-led video projects created to communicate identities, environments, systems, products, services, or ideas through considered design thinking and controlled visual execution.


As part of the London Design Awards, this category is open to designers, design studios, creative agencies, production teams, brands, educators, institutions, and organisations worldwide that use video as a core design output.


Enter the Video category at the London Design Awards to showcase your design-driven video project for international recognition among leading global design achievements

Deadlines & Fees

All designers are eligible to submit work in-progress, complete or conceptual designs. Winners are determined by one entry, and not an entire body of work, so careful selection should be observed.

The London Design Awards makes every effort to keep entry costs affordable. Rather than charging it per entry, an annual administrative fee is charged to cover costs like printing, mailing and data organisation. For this reason, each participant is charged a flat $30 annual administrative fee. When all participants pay the same low fee, those submitting more than one entry will benefit more.
