This year’s competition attracted participants from 50 countries, with most submissions coming from the architectural field. However, as the awards become more widely known, they are also drawing increased interest from product, installation, and service designers. The awards focus on highlighting works that educate, influence, and inspire, encouraging designs that have the potential to drive social and environmental change.

Entries were judged on several criteria, including the overall concept and execution, educational influence, quality of informational content, aesthetics, presentation, visionary approach, originality, feasibility, and comprehensiveness. Each submission was also expected to align with the awards' theme, emphasizing the educational potential of design. In addition to the main awards, the highest-scoring student project was honored with the Emerging Designers label, while Solarlux representatives selected the recipients of the Solarlux Choice award.
