The BLT Built Design Awards is one of the most comprehensive annual awards dedicated to architecture and construction. BLT Built Design Awards has four programs: Architecture — Interior Design — Landscape Architecture — Construction Product and this allows every successful company, located anywhere in the world, to enter diverse and excellent projects to this prestigious award.
There are major synergies between Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Interior Design, and Construction Products, joining and winning The BLT Awards ensures that your project, product, or software will be presented widely, across the larger industry.
Our award is designed to set the winners apart from their competitors; by carefully selecting the category you enter, your project, design or innovation concept can firmly establish itself in a strong niche. The BLT Built Design Award is both an independent endorsement of your project and an outstanding indicator of success.
The benefits of winning our award extend to excellent PR opportunities before, during, and after the award event itself. The BLT Awards winners have a range of opportunities to improve their brand awareness and The BLT Awards actively supports the promotion of your business to architecture, design, and construction professionals and potential new clients worldwide.
Our team has strong relationships with all the major design-related media, maximizing your company’s rate of PR exposure.
After winning, make sure to update your marketing materials with our BLT logo, and ensure you add ‘Award-Winning’ to your project description — on your website, your business cards, email signature, social media, and sales material, for example.
Sharing your win with the world is important, and sharing what your business has achieved through all your hard work is exciting and fun — you deserve this.
Being awarded with a BLT Built Design Award win or Honorable Mention acts as a 3rd-party endorsement of your business and design achievements. Our winning badge is a sign of quality for potential customers and a great way of differentiating your company from competitors — and can form a strong part of your sales strategy.
Winning a prize or receiving BLT Honorable Mention is a very public way of recognizing the hard work and achievements of your staff. Awards should be celebrated as a team to boost morale.

To conclude, an industry-recognized award serves as a powerful independent endorsement of your company’s quality. Winning the BLT Built Design Award is a serious competitive advantage and, more importantly, it is an evaluation that will bolster potential customers’ trust — especially when coupled with your own internal marketing material.
