Thanks to everyone who entered Dezeen Awards 2024, in partnership with Bentley! We have received over 4,000 entries across 41 categories from all around the world.

Entries came from 82 countries on six continents, including Canada, Australia, India, Nigeria, Singapore, Costa Rica, Kazakhstan, Indonesia and South Korea.

Once again proving to be one of the most accessible awards programmes in the industry, this year 60 per cent of our entries are from smaller practices with under 10 employees, ensuring that smaller and emerging studios are afforded the opportunity to showcase their work to the world.

Dezeen Awards 2024 closed for entries last week. If you entered this year, thank you so much! Read on to find out what is happening next.

Longlisting

Longlisting, the first stage of the judging process, will start next week and continue until the end of July.

The longlists will be announced on Dezeen between 9 and 12 September. Each longlisted entry gets its page on the Dezeen Awards website.

Shortlisting

The shortlisting stage of the judging process will take place in August. It will involve our prestigious panel of judges, who will select a shortlist of five entries in each project category using an online scoring system.

We'll be announcing all shortlisted projects on Dezeen from 7 to 14 October and we'll be in touch then to let you know if you've been shortlisted.

Master jury day

A selection of judges from architecture, interiors, design and sustainability will gather in September to confirm the suggested project category winners and select overall Project of the Year winners from the architecture, interiors, design and sustainability categories.

The master jury panel will also select the Bentley Lighthouse Award winner, celebrating an individual whose contribution has significantly benefited social and environmental sustainability, inclusivity, and/or community empowerment. This award is nomination-only and our judges will shortlist names – it is not possible to enter this award.

Winners announcements

Winners will be announced in November at our party. Please subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated with all Dezeen Awards 2024-related news!
