A’ Design Awards & Competition: Call for Submissions
A’ Design Awards & Competition: Call for Submissions
The A’ Design Award was “born out of the desire to underline the best designs and well-designed products.” The A’ Design Award, recognizing the excellent and original talent from across the globe, is both a major achievement for designers and a source of inspiration for award-winning architects, brands, and design agencies. Entry and nomination are open to contestants from every country. Registration for the A’ Design Award & Competition 2022-2023 period is now open. Register and upload your design here.
While there is no shortage of design awards out there, the A’ Design Award stands out for its exceptional scale; with over 100 design categories. Alongside a category for Architecture, Building, and Structure Design, the award also includes Interior Space and Exhibition Design, Landscape Planning and Garden Design, Urban Planning and Urban Design, and dozens more. All of the categories can be found on the website here.
Winners of an A’ Design Award receive a trophy alongside a host of other benefits: a certificate, inclusion in an exhibition, inclusion in a yearbook publication, winners’ badges, an exclusive interview to be featured on the A’ Design Awards website, inclusion in the world design rankings, an invite to a gala night hosted by the awards for networking, feedback notes from the award jury, and participation in an extensive PR campaign are all offered to winners. Click here to see the full list of benefits.
Entries are judged by A’ Design Award’s jury of hundreds of experts from around the globe including scholars, professionals, and media members. Each jury member is required to sign a jury agreement and follow a code of conduct. In addition, jurors may not be employees of the participating companies to avoid conflicts of interest. This jury process has been designed to lead to a more fair and equitable awards process, with no single juror exercising undue influence on the results of the awards. You can find out more about the jury and its process here.
The A’ Design Award regular deadline ends on September 30th, after which late entry fees become effective, and preliminary scores are still provided. After the winners are announced on May 1st, 2023, a selection of architecture-related winners will be featured in a post on ArchDaily. See a selection of winners from previous years below.
