The A’ Design Award is an international award whose aim is to provide designers, architects, and innovators from all architecture and design fields with a competitive platform to showcase their work and products to a global audience. Among the design world's many awards, the A' Design Award stands out for its exceptional scale and breadth; in 2015, over 1,000 different designs received awards, with all fields of design recognized by the award's 100 different categories. The award's 2017 edition is now open for entries; designers can register their submissions here.

Participation in the A' Design Awards brings numerous benefits to designers. Winners of the award not only receive an A' Design Award trophy, but a certificate, inclusion in an exhibition, inclusion in a yearbook publication, winners' badges, an exclusive interview to be featured on the A' Design Awards website, inclusion in the world design rankings, an invite to a gala night hosted by the awards for networking, feedback notes from the award jury, and participation in an extensive PR campaign, among other benefits.

Alongside a category for Architecture, Building and Structure Design, the award features a number of categories that may be beneficial to those in the world of architecture—including categories for Interior Space and Exhibition Design, Building Materials, Construction Components, Structures & Systems, Futuristic Design, Sustainable Products, Projects & Green Design, and Urban Planning and Urban Design. You can see a full list of categories here.

Entries will be judged by A' Design Award's jury of 83 experts from around the globe. Each jury member acts independently of the others, providing their vote for the best projects without being influenced by the other members of the jury. This jury process has been designed to lead to a more fair and equitable awards process, with no single juror exercising undue influence on the results of the awards. You can find out more about the jury and its process here.

Submission for the A' Design Award is now open, and closes on February 28th. You can submit your designs here, or find out more about the awards in multiple languages here. After the winners are announced on April 15th, a selection of architecture-related winners will be featured in a post on ArchDaily.
