Deadlines & Fees

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.
