polytec Design Awards 2027

Celebrating & Recognising Australia’s Makers & Creators

The polytec Design Awards celebrate excellence in Australian design, craftsmanship and innovation, recognising the people and projects setting new benchmarks across residential and commercial spaces.

Returning this year, the awards honour the collaboration behind exceptional design. From architects and interior designers who shape the vision to builders, cabinetmakers and joiners who bring it to life. Together, they are driving Australia’s design and construction industry forward.

From beautifully resolved homes to distinctive commercial environments, we are looking for projects that showcase considered design, exceptional craftsmanship and the innovative use of decorative surfaces.

Whether you’re designing, specifying or crafting, this is your chance to put your work among Australia’s finest.

Submit your best project to the polytec Design Awards 2027.
