Toolkit: 2025 Awards Calendar

• Do you and your team members waste a lot of precious time searching for information about which architecture and interior design awards programs to enter?
• Do you sometimes find out about awards programs only after the entries have closed, and think: "I wish I'd entered those awards!"
• Do you find yourself rushing to pull together your entries, just before the submission deadline?

Imagine how much easier planning your awards would be if you could review all of the major architecture and design awards programs in one location, so you could choose programs aligned with your business development goals, and prepare your entries with time to spare?

Introducing SLD's 2025 Awards Calendar

This is the sixth annual Awards Calendar from Sounds Like Design; a spreadsheet that you can customise for your practice, which contains details from all of the major awards programs in Australia and internationally, including:

• the program name and operator
• a list of awards categories
• opening dates and submission deadlines
• entry fees
• dates for shortlist and winners announcements
• media partners, and
• links to relevant entry guidelines and handbooks.

Where an awards program is already open for entries, the spreadsheet contains this year's deadline dates. For programs that open later in the year, it contains indicative dates for planning purposes.

This is the only comprehensive awards calendar in Australia for architects, and it will save you hours throughout the year.

Better still, having access to this holistic overview of all the major programs enables you to align your entries with your business development goals, increasing the likelihood that your entries will have a positive impact on your new client pipeline.
