2022 Awards Competition Overview
The competition is open to Accredited DDA Members. Each category has unique eligibility criteria and entry requirements.
For each project, entrants are required to submit photos, drawings and a design statement for the judges to review. Basic project and entrant information is also required, including the project’s overall budget, a headshot and bio, and a project brief.
Entries must be the principal work of the entrant submitting the entry. Entrants who worked collaboratively on a project may submit the project as a team, as long as all entrants meet the eligibility criteria.
Gold, silver and bronze winners may be chosen in each category. Choice award finalists are selected from among the winners of various categories. This year, we look forward to presenting the following choice awards:
People’s Choice Award – selected by the general public from among the gold winners of each category.
Influencer’s Choice Award – selected by a Canadian design influencer from among the winners of the Whole Home categories.
