Autodesk Design & Make Awards 2023 submissions now open

Autodesk is now accepting submissions for the Design & Make Awards—a celebration of innovation, creativity, and excellence across industries. This annual event honors the people, projects, and technologies shaping the future of architecture, engineering, construction, product design, manufacturing, and media and entertainment.

Previously known as the Excellence Awards, this event takes place at Autodesk University and features a range of categories, including Innovator of the Year, Accelerating Transformation, and Making a Better World. In addition, there are six industry-specific categories designed to recognize outstanding achievements in various fields.

Over the years, the awards have celebrated groundbreaking projects from around the world. From the first open-source autonomous vehicle to the intricate construction of the Grand Egyptian Museum, and even an immersive video game that uses real-time cinematics to bring characters to life—each year brings new inspiration and innovation.
