The MUSE Conceptual Design Awards celebrates visionary ideas that push the boundaries of creativity and redefine what’s possible. This category honors designers who bring imagination to life, crafting concepts that inspire and pave the way for future innovations.
We invite conceptual designers, students, and studios worldwide to share their most forward-thinking projects. Whether you are an established visionary or an emerging talent, this is your opportunity to gain global recognition.
Join us in celebrating conceptual designs that spark ideas, influence trends, and shape the future of creative industries.
Architects, builders, contractors, developers, engineers, business owners are encouraged to submit work that is in prototype or complete*.
Winners are determined by one entry, and not an entire body of work, so careful selection should be observed.

* You may submit an entry into multiple categories at the same time. The first Category will be charged as per the original submission fee. Additional categories (2 or more) will be charged as such.
Rather than increasing the fee for each entry, fees are only charged in order to cover administrative costs like printing, mailing and data organization. For this reason, each participant is charged a flat $30 administration fee. When all participants pay the same low fee, those submitting more than one entry will actually pay less than if fees were on a sliding scale.
PROJECT DATE
Work submitted must have been created within the last 5 years.
The Winner of the Conceptual Design of the Year award receives a complimentary, limited-edition of the prestigious MUSE statuette and certificate. Winning works will be highlighted on the main page of the MUSE Design Awards website, and published on all of its social media platforms for a full year.
In addition, Platinum, Gold, and Silver winners will receive a complimentary certificate, personalized press release, as well as graphic for use in promotions.
