The DesignDaily Awards are a global celebration of excellence in architecture, design, and creative innovation. Hosted by DesignDaily & CompetitionList, platforms dedicated to inspiring and connecting the design community worldwide, these awards honor visionary projects, talented professionals, and groundbreaking ideas that shape the future of design. Our mission is to recognize outstanding work, foster creativity, and amplify the voices of architects, designers, students, and studios across all disciplines and borders.
Since 2011, DesignDaily has been a vibrant presence on social networks, sharing and showcasing exceptional design works from around the globe. With a focus on editorially curated projects in architecture, landscape, urban planning, and interior design, we have built a platform that inspires and engages a diverse audience. This rich history of celebrating creativity laid the foundation for our awards program. In 2021, we took a significant step with the Design Daily Choice Awards 2020, our first formal effort to commend remarkable contributions to the design world. This inaugural event marked the beginning of our tradition of recognizing innovation. The enthusiastic response from the design community spurred us to expand our vision further.
Building on this momentum, in 2022, we launched the 2021 Project of the Year Awards, a targeted initiative to honor projects that redefined excellence. Over time, we explored various award formats, each highlighting unique dimensions of design—from conceptual brilliance to completed masterpieces. These diverse efforts have now unified under a single banner: the DesignDaily Awards. This evolution reflects our commitment to creating a comprehensive platform that embraces every facet of design.
In 2025, the DesignDaily Awards will reach new heights. We are excited to introduce an expanded panel of Jury Members, incorporating a broader range of industry experts, academics, past winners, and influential voices from the global design community. Their expertise ensures a thorough and insightful evaluation process. We have also enriched our Categories to include a wider array of design disciplines, from sustainable architecture to innovative visualizations, ensuring every creative idea has a stage to shine.
Our judging process has been refined to uphold fairness and transparency. Spanning multiple rounds, it includes preliminary screenings by our editorial team, public voting for Popular Vote Winners, and final evaluations by our esteemed jury for Jury Winners. This balanced approach celebrates both professional excellence and community resonance. Backed by DesignDaily’s and CompetitionList’s combined reach of over 250,000 social media followers and millions of annual views, the awards offer winners unparalleled exposure to clients, peers, and design enthusiasts worldwide.
The DesignDaily Awards 2025 are more than a competition – they are a testament to creativity, collaboration, and the transformative power of design. Whether you’re an architect, a student, a studio, or a visionary with a bold concept, we invite you to submit your work, nominate others, or join our global audience in celebrating designs that inspire. Together, let’s shape the future of design.
