How to enter the Queensland Design Awards
Your guide to the 2026 BDQ Queensland Design Awards
Celebrating excellence in Building Design since 1992.
The Queensland Design Awards are officially open for entries!
This is your chance to put your best work forward – and honestly, it’s one of the most worthwhile things you can do as a designer this year.
The Awards aren’t just a trophy on the shelf. They’re a genuine marketing tool that puts your work in front of future clients. BDQ actively promotes every entry across physical, digital, and social channels throughout the year – giving the wider industry and public a real window into what our Members do and the important role they play in shaping our built environment.
It’s also a moment to pause and reflect. Looking back at a project months after you started it has a way of revealing things you couldn’t see at the time. Growth, lessons, evolution. That’s valuable for you and your whole team.
This is a genuine celebration of great design and the people behind it. Click the link below to explore Award Categories and entry requirements in the Handbook.
