Winners of the Ukrainian Design: The Very Best Of 2026 announced

As part of Ukrainian Creative Stories 2026, the country’s premier creative event, the winners of the national competition Ukrainian Design: The Very Best Of 2026 were announced. The event annually recognizes the highest achievements of Ukrainian designers and promotes high-quality visual design within the country.

This season, the competition accepted entries in five key categories: Graphic Design & Branding, Digital Design, TV/Promo & Video Motion Graphics, Product Design, and Environmental Design. A total of 226 works from 97 participants were submitted for consideration — ranging from leading agencies and studios to new names just beginning to shape the future of the market.

The objectivity of the selection was ensured by an independent international jury, which this year consisted of 26 experts from 16 countries around the world: leading designers, art directors, architects, and other recognized professionals. The evaluation took place online in an independent format.

Based on the results of the international experts’ voting, the awards were distributed as follows:

• 74 works received the Best Of distinction;
• 31 projects won the competition’s top award—The Very Best Of.

Ukrainian Design: The Very Best Of is an integral part of the Ukrainian Creative Awards competition program, which takes place within the framework of UCS 2026. The competition remains an important tool for supporting both well-known brands and young professionals and students.
