early deadlines ends march 31 & may 30.

The Spark Awards celebrate design in all disciplines, from Architecture to Digital, Product to Print–whatever media you dream in. Please consider joining the Spark communities and of course, entering your work. We’ll make sure to “get it out there!”

We’re pleased to announce some exciting major changes in Spark, focusing new attention on aspirational design, designers and their designs. Aspirational design is why we created Spark—and no doubt, an important reason you are reading this page—and Sparking. Now we have emphasized this Spark “difference” within our New Criteria.

Our second change is also momentous. The Spark Design & Architecture Awards, also referred to as Spark:Pro, will now focus on work that has been built (produced, realized or in pre- production). Spark Pro does not include design work in
the idea or proposal stage—that can be found in a dedicated competition called Spark Concept.

Competition deadlines:
Don’t worry–you have lots of time.
