Please note the submission deadline on the schedule page.

Each entry is limited to one Awards category. If you would like to submit a project to multiple award categories, you will need to enter multiple times. If entering the same project in multiple Awards categories, a fee for each entry will apply.

Please be sure to read our Terms & Conditions carefully; not following our guidelines may result in disqualification.

For Places and Product category submissions, please remove all names on materials (your own name, client names, etc.) to maintain anonymity in the judging process. Your name will be shown elsewhere on the entry.

If submitting as a partnership or group, it is the group’s responsibility to select one lead entrant who will be the contact for the Awards process and to provide his or her contact information with the entry. Designs submitted by multiple people may be disqualified. It is the group’s responsibility to ensure that all members understand and comply with the conditions of entry including the publicity and copyright terms.

Awards in the People category can be awarded to individuals, a duo or a collective. 

All submissions must be accompanied by 6-10 photographs, which in the case of transformative works can include photography of the ‘before’ state. Entrants must ensure that the images are relevant to the category, i.e., Interiors Award submissions should be images of the interior only, Architecture submissions should be of the exterior with select interior images that convey the architectural language and concept intended. Photographs must be genuine, not renderings, though photographs with minor retouching are acceptable. Hand drawings will not be accepted. Strong imagery is crucial to the judging process, so images must be representative of the project and high-quality. Landscape (horizontal) format images are preferred.

For architecture, interior design projects, furniture, lighting and accessories, entrants may also submit up to 5 drawings in vector-based PDF format (e.g. floor plans, site plans, sections, elevations, production drawings, model drawings). For buildings, these must include a north point, scale bar and key. Hand drawings and renderings will not be accepted.

For the People category, entrants may nominate themselves or a third party. Images should include a portrait of the nominee along with some examples of recent work.

Entrants may also submit a 90-second video by uploading it to YouTube, Vimeo or a similar site and including the URL with their entry.

Written statements should be in English. Entrants are advised to save their written statements in a separate document before uploading to the submission portal in case of any technical issues. See the entry form for the written statement format and criteria. 

Entries that do not adhere to the submission criteria may be disqualified.
