This year, Dezeen Awards continues its global search for excellence in architecture, interiors, and design with the introduction of our Regional Showcases – three Top 50 lists that will celebrate the best projects in three regions: Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Asia-Pacific, and the Americas.
Alongside our 49 project awards, this new addition adds another chance for work to be celebrated and spotlights outstanding projects produced in key regions of the world.
For individuals and companies with 10 employees or fewer, it costs £130 per category entry. For companies with more than 10 employees, it costs £260 per category entry.
