About the Silicon Valley UX Awards

Welcome to the Silicon Valley UX Awards—a celebration of outstanding user experience and product design. Our awards are powered by a carefully selected panel of product design judges, each with over 15 years of industry-leading experience.

We invite creative individuals and innovative companies to submit their work and join us in celebrating remarkable design. Together, we’re not just awarding excellence—we’re defining it.
