{{Short description|Chartered Society of Designers award}}
The '''Prince Philip Designers Prize''' is an annual design recognition given by the [[Chartered Society of Designers]] and originally awarded by [[Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh]] (1921–2021).

It is the longest running design award in the United Kingdom, having been started in 1959 as the '''Duke of Edinburgh's Prize for Elegant Design'''.<ref name="longest">{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/house-and-home/brompton-bike-creator-wins-uks-longestrunning-design-award-1804152.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091020120740/http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/house-and-home/brompton-bike-creator-wins-uks-longestrunning-design-award-1804152.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 20, 2009|title=Brompton bike creator wins UK's longest-running design award|work=Independent|date=16 October 2009|access-date=2009-10-20|quote=Andrew Ritchie was named the winner of the 50th Prince Philip Design Award}}</ref><ref name="bbc-fold-up">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8309975.stm|title=Royal award for fold-up bike man|work=[[BBC News Online]]|date=2009-10-16|access-date=2009-10-20|quote=The Duke set up the prize, run by the Design Council, in 1959}}</ref>  The recognition is on the basis of ''a design career which has upheld the highest standards and broken new ground''.<ref name="dc-2005">{{cite web|url=http://www.designcouncil.org.uk/Design-Council/2/Press/Prince-Philip-Designers-Prize-goes-to-zero-hero-Max-Fordham/|archive-url=http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20091115082358/http://www.designcouncil.org.uk/Design-Council/2/Press/Prince-Philip-Designers-Prize-goes-to-zero-hero-Max-Fordham/|url-status=dead|archive-date=2009-11-15|title=Notes to editors|date=2008-11-12|access-date=2009-10-20|publisher=Design Council|work=Prince Philip Designers Prize goes to ‘zero hero’ Max Fordham}} </ref>

It was agreed in December 2015, that the Chartered Society of Designers should re-introduce and manage it as a global prize after the [[Design Council]] had ceased in 2011 after managing it for 52 years.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Prince Philip Designers Prize|url = https://www.csd.org.uk/awards/prince-philip-designer-prize/|website = www.csd.org.uk|access-date = 2015-12-15}}</ref>
