In order for a product (collection of products) to be considered in the plebiscite, it must meet two conditions: the manufacturer or designer/design group must come from Poland, and the submitted products must be available for regular sale. An additional advantage will be the submission of products (or collections of products) that particularly meet the contemporary needs of consumers – they are socially sensitive, created with care for resources and do not create waste, care for health or are ideal for a home office.
The aim of must have is to support the creative sector through broad promotion of products that are the result of cooperation between the manufacturer and the designer.

The Board of Experts also makes its own nominations, based on a market review, whose main task is the final assessment of all applications. In the 13-year history of the plebiscite, 889 products were awarded.
