DXB Live, the organizing body behind World of Coffee Dubai 2026, has announced the opening of registration for the Coffee Design Awards, held as part of the upcoming exhibition. The organizers invited exhibitors wishing to compete in the new edition of the awards — a distinguished platform celebrating the most creative visual innovations in the coffee industry — to submit their work and showcase their commitment to excellence and innovation before the deadline of 30 November 2025, via the official registration email: wocdubai@dwtc.com
The awards take place within World of Coffee Dubai 2026, returning for its fifth edition from 18 to 20 January at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The event maintains its position as the region’s leading coffee industry gathering, having grown fourfold in just five years. International exhibitors now represent approximately 77% of total participants, reflecting the global confidence placed in the exhibition as a platform that brings together producers, roasters, traders, experts, and innovators from across the world.
Design that Reflects the Growth of the Coffee Industry
Through these awards, DXB Live and the Specialty Coffee Association aim to reinforce the vital role of design in shaping brand identity and driving growth across the coffee sector. The goal is to highlight works that successfully combine visual identity, creativity, and quality — capturing the spirit of innovation that defines today’s coffee community.
Award Categories
The Coffee Design Awards include four main categories, open to exhibitors who launched their design projects within the year preceding the exhibition:
Vessels
Spaces
Packaging
Branding
A wide and diverse pool of entries is expected this year, supported by the continued expansion of World of Coffee Dubai 2026, which features national coffee championships, technical showcases, and specialized competitions — making the design platform one of the exhibition’s most exciting and competitive elements.
The organizers encourage all registered exhibitors to participate in these awards, emphasizing that registration remains open until 30 November 2025, and that all eligible exhibitors may apply.
