The International Architecture & Design Awards returns with its 5th edition, continuing its mission to spotlight the finest work across the global design landscape — and marking the occasion with a reimagined 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 IAD Awards, we honour those who build meaning, challenge convention, and bring lasting value to the world through design. Your work deserves visibility, celebration, and its rightful place on the international stage.
