Rome Design Awards Theme
The Rome Design Awards champions the spirit of the Renaissance, dedicated to the modern creatives who are sculpting visionary works, just as the virtuosos of the past once did.
Celebrating the art of transformation, the competition recognises designers who pioneer new techniques and set new standards of excellence. This theme represents the journey of design from its classical roots to the present, spotlighting those who lead the charge in redefining the industry.
Step into the spotlight and let your designs become icons of innovation and elegance. Redefine the boundaries of art and design with each creative endeavour, and join us in advancing the rise of modern design.
Register with ease — the Rome Design Awards offers a quick and user-friendly submission process designed just for you.
The Rome Design Awards welcomes submissions from all designers, whether showcasing works-in-progress, complete projects, or conceptual ideas. Each winner is selected based on a single entry, instead of a full body of work, emphasising the importance of submitting your most compelling design.
To support accessibility, the Rome Design Awards implements a simple, inclusive fee structure. Rather than per-entry charges, a $30 annual administrative fee is implemented to cover essential services such as printing, mailing, and data organisation. This flat rate ensures fairness and maximises value for those entering multiple designs, making excellence in design accessible to all.
