Description

The International Architecture & Design Awards returns with its 5th milestone edition, continuing its mission to spotlight the finest work across the global design landscape — and marking the occasion with a re-imagined iconic IADA trophy, crafted in white and platinum.

Design is not just an act of creation — it is a response to the world, a way of thinking, and a measure of courage. At International Architecture & Design Awards (IADA), those who build meaning, challenge convention, and bring lasting value to the world through design are honored. Your work deserves visibility, celebration, and its rightful place on the international stage.

IADA 2026 is open to a wide spectrum of participants — from seasoned professionals to young talents, studios to solo creators, architects to artists, designers to developers. Whether your work is built or conceptual, it is welcome here. Select your category during the registration process.

Why enter?

  • Each winner receives a personalized Certificate of Achievement, refined award logos/stickers ideal for publications, portfolios, or your studio’s website, and a set of announcement banners for sharing your success across digital platforms.
  • An exclusive trophy — re-imagined in white and platinum and crafted to embody the spirit of design excellence — is available for every winner to order.
  • Your work will be featured on a dedicated winner’s page, complete with a studio spotlight and contact card.
  • Recognition extends beyond our platform, with publications across IADA’s social channels and selected international media partners, ensuring your achievement resonates across the global creative community.
