How are the award winners chosen?
Actor, talk-show host, and Etsy’s honorary Chief Gifting Officer Drew Barrymore, world-class tennis champion Naomi Osaka, and Etsy’s own trend expert Dayna Isom Johnson will help select the 2024 Grand Prize Etsy Design Award and the 10 Category Etsy Design Award winners.
The judging criteria include:
- Eye-catching craft (Does your item showcase your unique craftsmanship and skill?)
- Bold vision (Is your item stunning, best-in-class, unique or imaginative?)
- Personal story (your maker or curator story)
- Top-notch branding (Does your shop feature high-quality photography, clear, compelling descriptions, and excellent customer service?)
In addition to the criteria above, the judges are also on the hunt for items that make extra-special gifts this holiday season.
The People’s Pick Etsy Design Award winner will be determined by a community vote, which will open when the finalists are announced on September 10th, 2024. Between September 10th, 2024 and September 17, 2024, any Etsy member can vote using Etsy’s favoriting tool.
How can I submit a listing to the Etsy design awards?
To submit a listing for consideration for the Etsy Design Awards, visit our Etsy Design Awards page. You will receive an email confirming your entry was successfully received.
Be careful when submitting your entry. You will have a chance to review your entry before final submission, but you must complete your entry when you start it. You will not be able to save it or return to it.
Am I eligible to submit an item for consideration?
To be considered, you must have an Etsy shop with at least 5 active listings. You may submit one listing per shop that you own. If you have more than one shop, you may only enter one listing for each shop.
The listing you submit must have at least 3 listing images.
If your item is vintage or one-of-a-kind, we require that you put this item on hold from the time you enter until finalists are announced in September. If your vintage or one-of-a-kind item sells during this period, your submission becomes null and void.
