Submissions

All submissions are free to enter.

Here are our submissions criteria:

1. The project needs to be based in the MENA region.
2. The project needs to be at the 100% completion stage, unless you are applying for the ‘Project of the Future’ award, which needs to be at the ‘under construction’ stage.
3. We are accepting projects that have been completed at any point in time between 1 August 2024 and 1 August 2025.
4. We will only accept projects that have real images. Renders / AI-generated images will not be considered, unless you are applying for the ‘Project of the Future’ award.
5. There are no limits to the number of submissions a firm can submit across categories.

To ensure a smooth submissions process, please review our checklist below:

1. Review the list of categories that your firm wants to apply for here. We have a total of 21 categories this year across architecture and interior design. We also have nominations open for product design and emerging interior designer of the year.
2. Prepare the key information ready, such as name of the project, date of completion, size of the project, and project type.
3. Prepare the project photos in a Dropbox or Google drive shareable link (real, high-resolution images only, that are preferably minimum 3000 px in width). If you are nominating a person for the emerging interior designer of the year, you will need to have their photo ready as well. All of the images should be downloadable and have public view permissions.
4. A presentation in the form of a .pdf document that explains the concept of the project and why you think this project should win. Highlight the innovation, problem solving, any sustainable aspects, and story behind the project and the approach. The overall presentation should not exceed 10 slides. The maximum size of file allowed is 10 MB.

Remember, submissions close on 15th September 2025. We look forward to receiving your entries.
