See all entry fees and deadlines.
Who can enter?
Architects, designers, engineers, manufacturers, developers, contractors and students from anywhere in the world. You do not need to be based in Canada. Manufacturers can enter their own products, and clients and developers can enter the projects they commissioned, as long as they credit the architect or designer. Post-secondary students compete in a dedicated Student program, and the Firms & Studios program recognizes the overall work of a firm.

Projects completed within the past 3 years (5 years for urban design and landscape) and products on the market. Projects under construction, unbuilt projects and prototypes are eligible in the concept categories. Projects already awarded or published elsewhere are welcome.
Can I enter the same project in several categories?
Yes, in as many categories as you like, with 50% off each additional category in the same discipline. A project can win in each category entered.
How are entries judged?
Online, by an international jury of 120+ experts who score each entry out of 100 using our evaluation criteria. Projects scoring 60 points or more receive a Bronze, Silver or Gold certification, and Gold projects are finalists for Grand Winner and Award of the Year.
What do winners receive?
Certified projects receive a certificate, a lifetime licence to use their certification logo and a dedicated page. Grand Winners, Awards of the Year and People’s Choice Award winners also receive a trophy, and Grand Winners and Awards of the Year are featured in INT.DESIGN magazine. Everything is included in the entry fee: there are no fees after results are announced. See award accolades.
What if my project doesn’t win?
