Entrants have until February 13th to submit their best work

It’s that time of year again! The 2026 AZ Awards is officially open for submissions. Recognizing international design excellence from the world’s top architects and designers, the 11 main categories are: Design, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Interiors, Urban Design, Experiential Graphic Design, Concepts, Emerging, A+ Award for Student Work, Social Good and Environmental Leadership. Last year, AZURE inaugurated the EMERGING Awards to celebrate up-and-coming firms established within the past 10 years in each of the four top categories: Design, Architecture, Landscape and Interiors. Plus, there are more Interiors categories than ever (including Retail & Hospitality, Healthcare, Workspace and Institutional) as well as one recently added in Design (Housewares and Tech Products) — and AZURE will publish its extensive longlist online ahead of the jury-selected shortlist, celebrating a greater spectrum of excellent projects.
