A wide range of categories

There are 47 categories in total, with 33 project categories across architecture, interiors and design, as well as two studio awards in each sector awarding the best emerging and established practices.

Following the success in 2021 we are keeping our sustainability and media categories, which reward architects and designers who are reducing their impact on the environment and celebrating digital work across architecture, interiors and design.

A star-studded panel

Entries will be judged by a diverse panel of influential industry professionals, made up of 75 architects, designers, and academics from all over the world.

We will have two separate panels of specially selected experts to judge the sustainability and media categories.

Past judges have included structural engineer Hanif Kara, who described Dezeen Awards as 'scandalously exciting'.

Other past jury members include David Adjaye, Frida Escobedo, Virgil Abloh, Norman Foster and Alison Brooks.

Keep your eyes peeled for our upcoming announcements about our 2022 judges.

Why enter Dezeen Awards?

Dezeen Awards is organised by Dezeen, the world's most popular and influential architecture and design magazine, and judged by a panel consisting of leading figures from the architecture and design world. This means that Dezeen Awards has unprecedented credibility and reach.

Every longlisted entry will be published on the Dezeen Awards website and will receive Dezeen Awards 2022 badges to share on social media and their own websites.

Shortlisted entries will also be entered into the Dezeen Awards 2022 public vote, through which the public can choose their favourite projects and studios.

All shortlisted entries will be featured in full in an article on Dezeen and get further badges.

Winners will receive a hand-made trophy and a certificate.

Past winners have described how winning a Dezeen Award has kickstarted or elevated their careers.

"I have won other awards in the past, but none have been as impactful in terms of being put in front of the right people." said designer Hans Ramzan, who won product design of the year and design project of the year in 2020 with Catch: HIV Detector.

Last year's Dezeen Awards attracted over 4,700 entries from 86 different countries, making it one of the largest and most international awards programmes in the industry.

Prices and dates

While other awards programmes have increased their prices year by year, our standard entry prices have remained the same since day one. We hope to make Dezeen Awards accessible to smaller studios and avoid categories being dominated by large companies that can afford to enter multiple categories.

Once you have paid for your Dezeen Awards entry, you do not need to make any further payments. If we are able to hold a physical awards ceremony there may be a charge, but attendance is not obligatory.
