Our third and final longlist is here! Celebrating ingenious student projects, visionary concepts and environmental and social good, this selection features inspiring works from around the world.

You might, however, notice that something seems to be missing: our inaugural Emerging category. The winners in its design, interiors and architecture subcategories will be announced exclusively at our AZ Awards Gala on June 19, 2025 – and you can get your tickets now!

The jury’s shortlist will be announced in less than two weeks. Stay tuned for the finalists of the AZ Awards 2025!
