Design Anthology holds the Design Anthology Award 2021 online. The host has established the award since 2019 to evaluate and introduce the talent and creative vision of communities in Asia as well as Australia. These countries are now competing to become the core of design and attracting talented designers. The purpose of the Design Anthology Awards is to evaluate and showcase the talent and vision of the creative community as an authority on design and architecture in the region.

The Aoyama Design Forum, along with trophy sponsor Lasvit, prize sponsor Design Hotels, and House of Tai Ping, has supported the Design Anthology Award 2021.
