Shaping the Future of Psychedelic Culture
“The Psychedelics Design Awards are about more than aesthetics,” said the founding team. “They’re about designing responsibly for altered states—where safety, ethics, accessibility, and beauty all converge. These creators are laying the groundwork for how culture will engage with psychedelics in the years ahead.”
The 2025 awards mark the beginning of an annual program designed to champion best practices in psychedelic design. The next edition is planned for 2026 and will expand to include additional categories, live exhibitions, and deeper community involvement.
