GRANDS PRIX DU DESIGN — 20th Edition
GRANDS PRIX DU DESIGN opens its 20th edition to completed architecture, construction, real-estate, interior, landscape, product, communication, lighting, art and photography work. The programme is international: fees are charged in CAD for Canadian residents and USD for entrants outside Canada.
This is an awards programme for completed or eligible work, not a commission or an open design brief. Registration fees are non-refundable, taxes may apply in Canada, and a distinction does not imply a construction contract.

Rights and practical limits
Entrants should hold the necessary rights to all submitted photography, drawings and project information. The official FAQ states that registrations are not refundable and cannot be transferred to a later edition.

✦ ArchUp Competition Review
The 20th edition offers unusually broad disciplinary coverage and a published scoring structure. That breadth is useful for multidisciplinary practices, but it also means applicants should compare category fit carefully rather than treating multiple paid categories as a substitute for a strong submission.
The distinction is reputational rather than a project commission. The most relevant question for a practice is whether the jury framework and publication package justify the entry cost for work that is already complete and professionally documented.

Indicative time remaining
Indicative only: the timer treats 23:59 UTC on 1 May as a planning assumption. The organizer publishes the date, not an official closing hour or timezone.
