Scroll

After last year’s success of the Etsy Awards, it’s time for a second round of celebrating the best designs on Etsy, the online marketplace for handmade and vintage items.

If you’re a creative and already have an Etsy shop, then you can apply with your products right away; if you don’t have your own shop yet, you can open one using this form. Submissions can be made in the following categories: Art, Illustration & Paper Goods, Home & Living, Kids & Baby, Fashion & Accessories, New Talent. Additionally, and just like last year, there’s the Community Choice Award, for which there will be a public voting via e-mail and Facebook once the 60 finalists are chosen. The aim is to highlight exceptional designs and the winners can look forward to receiving either € 1000 as well as € 5000 for the Community Choice Award.

To select the finalists, we’ll be sitting on the jury alongside Etsy’s creative director Julia Hoffman, Ricarda Nieswandt of 23qm Stil as well as photographer Zoë Noble and we can’t wait to see your submissions. You can apply until May 17th, good luck! Feel free to take a look at last year’s winners below.
