Last Chance Dezeen Awards!!

The annual Dezeen Awards 2023 has just concluded, with a wide array of awards (41 to be precise) now handed out to all the worthy participants, the awards announcement proved to be a seamless process. And, much to the delight of the award committee, a few additional categories will be added for next year’s awards show, which means to pre-empt another successful year ahead. Late entries for next year’s slew of awards will accomodate a late entry, untill June 6th 2024.

The host of both old and new awards included but not exclusive to; house (urban of rural), housing, house renovation, civic project, cultural project, workplace project, health and well being project, education, heritage, hospitality, infrastructure and transport, landscape & urban design and the prestigious Architect of the year award will be on tow for all, if not just a new breed of applicants.

The awards show hopes to bolster credibility and reach, affording winners, both fresh talents and seasoned professionals, some very favourable exposure.

Every award winner will be listed and published on Dezeen to a readership of roughly three million, and not to mention Dezeen’s seven million social media followers, as well as will the winners be mentioned in Dezeen’s newsletters and will peak at an estimate half a million subscribers, affording significant coverage to the winning entrants.

With so many awards programmes available to designers the world over, it is difficult to afford designers the best outreach but Dezeen insists that they are different and can promise participants the proper attention, upon winning one of their illustrious awards.

The Dezeen Awards tries to attract smaller studios by avoiding categories that would otherwise be dominated by larger design houses, where multiple entries per category are the norm. This means to say that Dezeen means to differentiate their content by affording smaller firms and designers’ the prospective outreach to help maximise exposure upon one’s deserved victory at the award ceremony. 

The judging criteria is also carefully considered before allowing for top designers and industry professionals the unique opportunity to honour projects that are not just beautiful and innovative but also impacts the end user with an environmentally conscious agenda, allowing for complete visibility within the medium of design.

Good design today can often ignore issues such as social impact or sustainability, but with Dezeen looking to highlight projects that incorporate positive thinking in this area, participants can expect to have a fair chance at taking home an award, so long as they are able to impress the judging panel with a forward-thinking approach.

The Dezeen Awards are panelled by some 90 working professionals and industry leaders from across the board. Dezeen prides itself on being one of if not the most comprehensive surveyor of the best works involving the fields of architecture and design.

Outside of the mainstay award statuette and winner’s certificate of authenticity, the winning participants will be invited to a oh-so-lush extravaganza happening in November 2024.
