Autodesk Design & Make Awards 2023 submissions now open

Autodesk is now accepting submissions for the Design & Make Awards—a celebration of the people, projects, and technologies that are shaping the future across architecture, engineering, and construction; product design and manufacturing; and media and entertainment.

Previously known as the Excellence Awards, this annual event takes place at Autodesk University. The program features several categories, including Innovator of the Year, Accelerating Transformation, and Making a Better World, alongside six industry-specific awards.

Over the years, the Design & Make Awards have recognized groundbreaking achievements from around the world. Past winners include the first open-source autonomous vehicle, the intricate construction of the Grand Egyptian Museum, and an immersive video game that uses real-time cinematic techniques to bring characters to life. Each year, we're inspired by the creativity and innovation displayed by our global community.
