Awards

Every year the organization hands out the Oslo Runway Tribute Awards, recognising Brand of the Year and Person of the Year.

The Brand of the Year award, whose purpose is to promote value creation within the Norwegian design industry, is granted to a Norwegian fashion or lifestyle brand, or a designer that has excelled in the past year. Previous winners have been LIVID (2021), TOM WOOD (2022), ENVELOPE1976 (2023), NORWEGIAN RAIN (2024) and PEARL OCTOPUSS.Y (2025).

As of 2026, the Oslo Runway Tribute Award was expanded with the second title – Person of The Year. In this case, the industry is invited to nominate an individual who, through their work over the past year, has made a significant contribution to the development, visibility or renewal of the Norwegian fashion and lifestyle industry.

The jury of the year, consisting of leading voices within design, environmental and economic sustainability, business, and communications, will decide on a winner.

Both Tribute Awards will be presented during the Official Opening Dinner, on the first day of the Oslo Runway fashion week.
