Dezeen has launched a new edition of Dezeen Awards to celebrate the best architecture, interiors and design in China. Start your entry today!

Dezeen Awards China is the first regional edition of Dezeen Awards, which has grown rapidly to become one of the most entered awards programmes on the planet and is a benchmark for international design excellence.

Dezeen Awards China to spotlight Chinese design talent

Launched in partnership with Bentley Motors, Dezeen Awards China will shine a spotlight on the best Chinese architecture, interiors and design, providing international recognition from around the globe.

Dezeen Awards China will be a celebration of Chinese design talent. It is therefore for architects, designers and studios based in China, rather than for projects by international firms that are built in China.

Multinational firms that have an office in China are free to enter, as long as the majority of the work on the project was completed by the Chinese office.

Just like the international edition, Dezeen Awards China is open to studios large and small and will celebrate both established names and emerging studios working in China today.

Judges include Rossana Hu, Alex Mok and Michael Young

Dezeen Awards China will be judged by a stellar jury made up of the top Chinese architects and designers, as well as high-profile international names with experience working in China.

Judges confirmed so far include architect Rossana Hu, interior designer Alex Mok and designer Michael Young. More names will be announced in the coming weeks.

Seventeen categories spanning architecture, interiors and design

There are 17 project categories to enter across architecture, interiors and design. The winners of these project categories will go head to head for the chance to be crowned one of three project of the year winners across architecture, interiors and design.

In addition, six China Designers of the Year awards will celebrate the leading emerging and established names working in China across architecture, interiors and design.

However, these awards are nomination-only and our judges will shortlist names – it is not possible to enter these awards.

Dezeen Awards China is open for entries now until 24 August 2023, but studios can save money on their entry if they enter before 13 July 2023.

Dezeen Awards China launches in partnership with Bentley

Dezeen Awards China launched in partnership with Bentley, as part of a wider three-year collaboration that also includes headline sponsorship of the international edition of Dezeen Awards, which closed for entries last week, and a design competition to redefine the future of luxury retail that launched last month.

"We are thrilled to be working with Bentley to launch Dezeen Awards China, our first regional awards programme," said head of Dezeen Awards Claire Barrett.

"We are looking forward to discovering a wealth of design talent and promoting it both locally and on a global stage, showcasing the country's rising position as a design powerhouse."

"We are delighted to be working with Dezeen to deliver a new global platform that will celebrate both new Chinese design talent and established names," added Steven De Ploey, Bentley's global head of marketing.

"Partnering with Dezeen in this way enables us to reward and support cutting-edge innovators in the design industry who strive to deliver transformational experiences and best solve the design challenges of our age."
