Think your work belongs among the world’s best? Enter the A’ Design Award and put your work on the international stage.

\n\n\n\n

The A’ Design Award & Competition is now accepting submissions for its latest edition, inviting designers, architects, artists, studios, brands and creative professionals from around the world to put their work forward.

\n\n\n\n

With an enormous range of disciplines represented, the competition is less about fitting into one particular definition of design and more about recognizing thoughtful ideas, strong execution and work that pushes its field forward.

\n\n\n\n

The regular submission deadline is September 30, 2026, with results scheduled to be announced to the public on May 1, 2027. Register you work here.

How Are the Entries Judged?

\n\n\n\n

Entries are evaluated by an international jury made up of design professionals, academics and press members. For this edition, the Grand A’ Design Award Jury comprises 316 members from a broad range of disciplines and countries. The judging process brings together different areas of expertise and perspectives rather than relying on a single individual’s taste or opinion.

\n\n\n\n

The competition also offers a preliminary evaluation service, giving participants the opportunity to receive an assessment of their work before the final judging process.

What Happens If You Win?

\n\n\n\n

Winning is about more than putting an award badge on your website. The A’ Design Prize is designed to give winning designers a collection of tools and opportunities that can help their work travel much further.

\n\n\n\n

Among the benefits available to winners are:

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In other words, the prize is designed to keep working long after the trophy has been handed over. The official winner benefits include the yearbook, exhibitions, PR support, rankings, trophy and access to the gala-night and its international design network.
