Autodesk Design & Make Awards 2023 submissions now open

The Autodesk Design & Make Awards are now open for submissions! This is your chance to showcase the incredible work being done in architecture, engineering, and construction; product design and manufacturing; and media and entertainment. It's a global celebration of innovation, creativity, and excellence driven by design and technology.

Previously known as the Excellence Awards, this annual event takes place at Autodesk University. The awards recognize not only the best projects but also the people and technologies behind them. Categories include Innovator of the Year, Accelerating Transformation, and Making a Better World, with additional industry-specific categories to highlight diverse achievements.

Last year’s winners included groundbreaking projects like the world’s first open-source autonomous vehicle, the complex construction of the Grand Egyptian Museum, and an immersive video game that uses real-time cinematics to bring characters to life. Each year, we’re inspired by the creativity and impact of our customers.

Explore the stories of last year’s award winners and get inspired.
