The Main Entry Deadline for Architizer's 2025 A+Product Awards is Friday, December 6. Get your brand in front of the AEC industry’s most renowned designers by submitting today.
One of the only constants in architecture is change. Designers never cease to iterate, constantly adapting their approach to the design and specification projects with each passing year. Dynamic by default, architects seek increasingly high-quality, sustainable materials, products, lighting and furniture to satisfy the needs of their clients.
It makes sense then, that Architizer’s Annual A+Product Awards program celebrates brands that are dedicated to innovation, continually challenging the status quo and refining their product lines to stay relevant in this ever-changing industry. While the iconic Winners’ Gallery is populated by a diverse range of products, they are unified by the pioneering qualities shown by their manufacturers across every conceivable vertical.
The A+Product Awards program has evolved to provide more opportunities for the AEC industry’s top brands to earn the recognition they deserve. Case in point: The prestigious “Best of the Year” Categories are designed to celebrate world-class products at the top of their technical or typological class. Brands are invited to submit products that excel in their field, confirming their position an industry leader.
The “Best of the Year” A+Product Award categories are outlined in more detail below.
