The Lucky Strike Designer Award is Europe’s most prestigious design award, valued at €50,000. Since 1991, the Raymond Loewy Foundation has given it out annually. The foundation was established by the world’s second-largest tobacco company, which handed it over to Stilwerk GmbH in 2013.

This civil law-based non-profit recognises globally renowned designers whose work or life’s work has changed social or cultural life.

An independent jury of design professors, accomplished artists, and other members of the art and design scene selects the applicants for the Lucky Strike Designer Award, the Lucky Strike Junior Designer Award, and the annual nomination.

Raymond Loewy Foundation

The Raymond Loewy Foundation was established in Germany after a significant exhibition in Berlin in 1990, which BAT’s Lucky Strike cigarette brand funded. It aims to commemorate the artist Raymond Loewy’s life and work and elevate the design to the status it deserves in the public eye. Later, similar foundations arose in other nations. The Raymond Loewy Foundation is integral to the BAT Group’s Lucky Strike brand and public relations strategy.
