Dezeen Awards 2020 will open for entries on 4 February

Dezeen Awards 2020 will open for entries on 4 February, with the discounted early-entry period running until 31 March. Read on for all the key dates for this year's architecture, interiors and design awards programme.

Now entering its third year, Dezeen Awards identifies the world's best architecture, interiors and design projects, as well as the studios and the individual architects and designers producing the most outstanding work.

Launched in 2018, Dezeen Awards has grown rapidly into one of the most prestigious and popular awards programmes in the industry. Last year it attracted more than 4,500 entries from 87 countries.

Winners from Dezeen Awards 2018 described how the honours have transformed their fortunes.

"We have been getting more and more international project requests lately," said Dutch studio i29, which won interior designer of the year. "To win a Dezeen Award has been a very important moment in our career."

Winning a Dezeen Award "has opened new doors to another level of business," said Atelier NL, which won both designer of the year and homeware design of the year. "We feel like our work is taken more seriously now," the studio added, saying it had won new work thanks to the accolades.
