Young Designer of the Year Award

The Young Designer of the Year Award, sponsored by Feadship, celebrates the original concepts of student and trainee designers from around the globe. This highly regarded award tasks young designers with a realistic client request to challenge their ideas, technical ability and aptitude for delivery.

The award programme provides the winner with the unique opportunity to receive critical acclaim in front of an international audience of superyacht owners, designers and industry leaders, and network amongst the most influential players in the yachting industry.

Nominations for the Young Designer of the Year Award are now open. The winners will be announced at the Superyacht Design Festival 2026 in Kitzbühel on 1-3 February and there are limited early-bird tickets still available. For more information, please email the events team.
