This is part of a wider collaboration to inspire, support and champion design excellence and showcase innovation that aims to create a better and more sustainable world.

Nineteen categories to enter

This year, there are 19 project categories open for entry across architecture, interiors and design.

We've introduced three new awards. One rewards excellence in landscape and urban design, celebrating standout landscape design, masterplan, and public realm projects. The other two new categories highlight the best in exhibition design as well as craft and collectible design, drawing on the region's strong craft heritage.

The winners of these 19 project categories will compete for the ultimate honour: the title of project of the year across architecture, interiors and design.

Dezeen Awards China places a strong emphasis on excellence and sustainability, guided by our judging criteria. The scoring system is based on three key design principles: beautiful, beneficial and innovative.

In addition, the China Designers of the Year awards will recognise six emerging and established designers or studios, working across architecture interiors and design, with names put forward by our judges.
