AN INTERNATIONAL JURY OF MORE THAN 120 EXPERTS
Entries are evaluated by an independent international jury of more than 120 professionals in design, architecture and the built environment, as well as academics and members of the specialized media. The evaluation process is based on a digital scoring system that helps ensure the rigour, fairness and credibility of the awards.
Each project or product is scored out of 100 points. Depending on its score, it may receive a Bronze (60 to 69 points), Silver (70 to 79 points) or Gold (80 points and above) certification. Gold-certified entries become finalists for the title of Grand Winner, awarded to the entry with the highest score in its category. From among the Grand Winners, the jury also selects one Award of the Year per discipline.
THREE PLATFORMS TO SHOWCASE CREATIVITY
Winners are celebrated on three complementary platforms:
- The Galas, on October 21, 2027 at Théâtre Capitole in Quebec City and in November 2027 in Montréal (date to be confirmed);
- INT.DESIGN magazine, which dedicates two special editions to the winners;
- The INT.DESIGN portal, where all winning projects are featured in the Get Inspired search engine.
