Architectural Design

Integrating aesthetics alongside technology and functionality, the London Architectural Design of the Year recognises designs that are able to achieve notable breakthroughs.

The London Awards focuses on unique components and elements of a structure, searching for designers who create living spaces that conform to overall livability of mankind.

Deadlines & Fees

All designers are eligible to submit work in-progress, complete or conceptual designs. Winners are determined by one entry, and not an entire body of work, so careful selection should be observed.

The London Design Awards makes every effort to keep entry costs affordable. Rather than charging it per entry, an annual administrative fee is charged to cover costs like printing, mailing and data organisation. For this reason, each participant is charged a flat $30 annual administrative fee. When all participants pay the same low fee, those submitting more than one entry will benefit more.
