Following the launch of Dezeen Awards 2026, in partnership with Trimble, we explain this year's exciting new addition.
1. What are the Regional Showcases? A new way to celebrate and recognise your projects. Three Top 50 lists will celebrate the best projects across three key regions: Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Asia Pacific (APAC) and the Americas (AMER).
2. How do I take part? Simple. Every project you enter into Dezeen Awards will automatically be entered into our new Regional Showcases, but you can opt out if you don't wish your project to be considered.
3. Which Top 50 list should I enter? Don't worry, we do the hard work for you! When you enter, your project is automatically considered for the correct Top 50 list based on project location, for architecture and interiors, or studio location, for design projects.
4. How much is it? It's £25 per entry for small studios (companies with 1-10 employees) and £50 per entry for large studios (companies with 11+ employees).
5. Can I just enter the Regional Showcases? No, you need to enter into one of our project categories and as part of the entry process, you have the option to also enter the Regional Showcases.
6. Who selects the Regional Showcases? Dezeen's editors will judge our Regional Showcases and select the projects for three Top 50 lists – remember, our editorial team is always on the lookout for great work to publish!
7. Why should I enter? We want to spotlight outstanding work produced in key regions of the world and our Regional Showcases offer another chance for your work to be celebrated.
8. What do I get? The three Top 50 lists will be published on Dezeen and across our socials, reaching our audience of more than 10 million. We'll also give you special promotional badges so you can show off on your own social channels and tell the whole world about your success!
9. When will the Top 50 lists be announced? We'll publish these in early September.
10. Can my project still be shortlisted? Yes! Our shortlists are judged by our panel of industry leaders and will be announced in late September.
Sign me up! Great, log in or create an account via our entry platform to begin your entries. And remember, enter before 25 March to take advantage of our early entry fees and save 20 per cent. Good luck!
