The pre-selection results for the 2026 ISARCH Award and the 2026 ISARCH ESG Award have been announced following the completion of Round 1 Judging. Entries across all disciplines were assessed through ISARCH’s blind judging process, in which the jury evaluates each submission without access to designer names, firm identities, or consulting logos.
Selected entrants in both the Professional and Student divisions will receive notification by email. To proceed to the final evaluation stage, pre-selected entrants must then log in to their submission account and complete the Round 2 judging fee payment. Entries that advance will be evaluated for the Grand Prix, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Jury Special Award, and Winner distinctions.
No additional materials are required at this stage. Round 2 evaluation is conducted on the basis of the work already submitted during the first stage.
The proportion of entries advancing to pre-selection varies from year to year, as the threshold is determined by the jury according to the standard of work received within each discipline rather than by a fixed quota. This approach ensures that the shortlist reflects genuine design merit rather than a predetermined distribution.
Entrants who wish to confirm their status or who have questions regarding the payment process may contact the organizing committee at info@isarch.org. The support team remains available throughout the Round 2 period.
ISARCH extends its appreciation to every entrant who took part in this year’s competition, and to the international jury whose rigorous evaluation upholds the integrity of the awards. The competition continues to serve as a platform for recognizing exceptional achievement in architecture, design, and art across the global creative community.
