The 22nd Annual HD Project Awards
Hospitality Design (HD) magazine is now accepting entries for the 22nd annual HD Awards! The projects portion of the awards program includes 32 categories. Projects opened between December 1, 2024 and February 2026 are eligible to enter.
The deadline to submit is February 9th, 2026.
All entries must be submitted online—we will not be accepting hard copies of entries.
Step 1. Read the rules page before getting started with your entry
The rules page explains how to enter, cost of entry, and the categories for this competition.
Step 2. Create a login that will save all your entry information
To access the entry form, you must first create a login. Once you create a login, you will arrive on part one of the entry form—the rules page. You will be required to certify that you have read and understood the rules document before you move on to the entry form. After that, you can begin uploading your entry info. You will be able to save it and come back at a later time to finish the process if necessary.
Step 3. Fill out the entry form
The entry form is split into three parts. The first part is to read and certify the rules page; the second part asks you to input project information; in the third part, you will upload project images.
Step 4. Pay for your entry
Entry fees are $320 for the first entry, and $220 for each additional category or entry you submit (entries in the Student category are $40). Payment is accepted via credit/debit card (through Paypal’s website) or via a Paypal account.
