Feedback Wins the Vote!
The results are in, and with over 600 votes from our community, Feedback has been chosen as the guiding theme for the 15th anniversary of the Seattle Design Festival! Thank you to everyone who cast their vote and helped define the direction of this year’s Festival.
How will Feedback Guide SDF ’25?
Feedback is all about collaboration, courage, and adaptability. It challenges us to listen deeply, iterate boldly, and embrace constructive dialogue as a tool for innovation and stronger communities. As we gear up for SDF 2025, we invite you to explore how Feedback can shape design, influence change, and amplify diverse voices.
What Happens Now?
Over the next few weeks the SDF Council, and members of the SDF 2024 Planning Team, will be building a theme statement to share how they hope our community will respond to this theme as they pull together proposals for this year’s Festival. The full theme statement will be released with the Call for Proposals on April 2, but you don’t have to wait to consider the power Feedback.
