The 2022 Dezeen Awards is now accepting submissions.

Now in its fifth year, the Dezeen Awards celebrates the world's best architecture, interiors and design and has become the benchmark for international design excellence and the ultimate accolade for architects and designers around the world.

A wide range of categories
There are a total of 47 categories with 33 project categories in architecture, interior design and design, as well as two studio awards in each sector to recognize the best emerging and established offices.
Following its success in 2021, the organizer is retaining the Sustainability and Media categories, which honor architects and designers who reduce their impact on the environment, and recognize digital work in architecture, interior design and design.


What are the studio categories?
The Dezeen Awards studio categories have been specifically created to highlight the architects and designers producing the most outstanding work.

There are six studio categories, two in each sector for both emerging and established studios:
・Architecture
Architecture studio of the year
Emerging architecture studio of the year

・Interiors
Interior design studio of the year
Emerging interior design studio of the year

・Design
Design studio of the year
