This open call invites architects, designers, firms, and students worldwide to submit their most visionary projects—whether conceptual, in-progress, or completed within the past six years. Since 2011, DesignDaily has championed architectural and design innovation, spotlighting exceptional works globally. 

The DesignDaily Awards 2025 aim to recognize groundbreaking designs that push boundaries in creativity, functionality, and impact. With expanded categories for 2025, including sustainable architecture and innovative visualizations, the Awards offer a platform for diverse ideas.

Participants are encouraged to showcase how their work addresses modern challenges, from sustainability to community impact, within their chosen category.  

Open to individuals and teams from all backgrounds, the award fosters inclusivity, welcoming both students and seasoned professionals. Entries will be evaluated by a distinguished jury of industry experts, academics, and past winners, alongside public voting, ensuring a balanced and fair process. Winners will receive a prestigious Award Badge, a certificate, and global exposure through DesignDaily’s and CompetitionList’s combined audience of over 250,000 social media followers and millions of annual views.
