With 15 days left to take advantage of the standard entry for Dezeen Awards 2021, here are 15 reasons why architects, interior designers, designers, filmmakers and photographers should enter now.
The standard entry fee ends on 2 June. Enter before then to avoid paying a late entry fee! The late entry deadline is 9 June.
Not sure if you want to enter? Here are 15 reasons why you should:
1. Your work will be seen by a star-studded judging panel. Our 75 judges include world-renowned architects and designers such as Olafur Eliasson, Chrissa Amuah and Massimiliano Fuksas.
2. All longlisted projects will get a dedicated page on the Dezeen Awards website. Shortlisted projects and winners will also get further dedicated pages.
3. The Dezeen editorial team will see your work. Our editorial team is involved in the longlisting process and is always on the lookout for great work to publish.
4. All shortlisted projects will be published on the main Dezeen website. They will also feature in the Dezeen Daily newsletter, which is read by 180,000 people each day.
5. We'll promote you on Dezeen's social media channels if you are shortlisted or win. With six million followers across all channels, that's a big deal. All longlisted, shortlisted and winning studios will get special promotional badges so you can show them off on your own social channels.
6. Winners get a unique hand-made trophy designed by Atelier NL, plus a winner's certificate. Where will you display your trophy? See the "shelfies" past winners have sent us.

10. Small companies pay even less. Firms with less than 10 employees benefit from half-price entry fees.
11. Once you've paid for your entries, you don't have to pay for anything else. Attendance at the winners' party is optional.
12. You can now enter your architecture photography, video, visualisation or website into our media categories. The media categories cost just £50 each to enter!
13. We've introduced new sustainability categories across architecture, interiors and design. Our three categories celebrate projects that make positive environmental and social contributions and will be assessed by a specially selected jury of sustainability experts from the world of architecture and design. They include Katie Treggiden, Seetal Solanki, Sebastian Cox and Arthur Huang.
