Celebrating visionary ideas and experimental design across architecture, product, fashion, interior, and interdisciplinary concepts.
The London Conceptual Design Awards celebrates bold, imaginative design that pushes boundaries and explores new creative possibilities. This category recognises experimental, speculative, and future-forward concepts — from unbuilt projects and product prototypes to futuristic fashion, interiors, and cross-disciplinary design thinking. It honours innovation at its early stage: ideas that challenge convention and inspire what’s next.
As part of the London Design Awards, this category invites submissions from designers, studios, creative teams, students, R&D departments, and visionaries across all design disciplines. Whether you're exploring design beyond execution, the London Conceptual Design Awards offers a global platform to showcase your most daring and thought-provoking concepts.
Submit your conceptual design and let your imagination and vision for the future be recognised — before it’s built.
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.
