Créateurs Design Awards
Submissions for the 2027 CDA Awards open on September 1.
Presented annually in Paris, the Créateurs Design Awards recognizes excellence across architecture, design, culture, and media through a peer-led voting process shaped by more than 300 practitioners, institutional directors, journalists, curators, and cultural leaders from 55 countries. Across fifteen categories and two Legacy Awards, the program celebrates the projects, individuals, and ideas contributing to contemporary creative culture.
Recognized internationally for its peer-to-peer model and multidisciplinary scope, the Awards bring together a global community committed to excellence, authorship, and cultural responsibility. Recent laureates include Lord Norman Foster, SANAA, Christian de Portzamparc, Frida Escobedo, and Xu Tiantian. Submissions are reviewed through a multi-stage nomination and voting process conducted by members of the Créateurs Design Association.
Deadline: October 31.
