4. Who are the judges?

Judging this year's programme is a panel of 93 industry-leading professionals across architecture, design, journalism, and curation as well as experts in the fields of sustainability and media.

The star-studded panel includes architect Sou Fujimoto, acclaimed graphic designer Paula Scher, and architect and designer India Mahdavi. Sustainability expert Katie Treggiden and BAFTA-nominated producer Liam Young are heading up the sustainability and media panels.

5. What are the entry criteria?

Dezeen Awards are unique in having three key judging criteria that we believe should be integral to all design projects:

Beautiful: does it look amazing? We know that beauty is subjective, but our judges will be looking out for aesthetic rigour, attention to detail, and good use of materials.

Innovative: does it incorporate original thinking or address a problem in a new way? We don't mean that every entry has to reinvent the wheel, but we will be looking for evidence of fresh approaches and new ideas.

Beneficial: is it useful and considerate to both people and planet? Your project doesn't have to set out to save the world, but it should show respect and consideration for both users and the environment.
