Living
Home, consumer & daily life
Leonardo da Vinci designed a roasting spit turned by the rising heat of the fire, so that it sped up as the fire grew hotter. He did not consider any part of daily life too small for serious attention. The Living category of The DaVinci Awards® takes the same view.
Consumer innovation now spans the connected home, consumer electronics, household and personal products, food and drink, fashion and wearables, and the products that keep people safe. The DaVinci Awards® recognizes the organizations behind these products, from startups with a first credible result to established innovators with years of measurable impact. Every entry is assessed by judges with relevant domain expertise, against a standard that weighs usefulness, quality of design and honest value to the people who use them.
The five areas below are starting points, not boundaries. Whatever your consumer innovation, see how a one-, two- or three-star DaVinci Award® could work for you.
No restrictive categories
Areas of consumer innovation
There are no fixed categories in The DaVinci Awards®. The five areas below are suggestions to help you find your bearings, not boxes to fit into. If your innovation improves daily life, it is eligible.
Worldwide innovation awards
How Recognition Works
Every Living entry is assessed on its own merits and awarded one, two or three stars, with each level reflecting a higher benchmark of innovation, evidence and impact. There is a high ceiling of innovation, excellence and impact to achieve a star, and not every entry earns one. Nominations are accepted throughout the year.
One star
Commendable growth, clear innovation, and evidence of quality, consistency and credibility.
Two stars
Excellent growth, a track record of innovation, and sophistication and elegance in execution.
Three stars
Reserved for the most outstanding accomplishments.
Four deadlines a year: enter at any time and your entry is judged in the next round. Results are announced within three months of each deadline. View all deadlines.
