Dezeen Awards is judged by the biggest names in the business, with former Chinese judges including Min Wang, Zhang Ke, Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu. Dezeen Awards China judging panel will feature design luminaries from China as well as international names who have experience of working in the country culminating in a Dezeen Awards China winners' event in December.

We are looking forward to discovering a wealth of design talent and promoting it both locally and on a global stage showcasing the country's rising position as a design powerhouse."

As Kim Airey, Managing Director of Bentley Motors Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong and Macao, comments, “It is my pleasure to serve as a judge alongside the panel of distinguished design luminaries in China, looking for designs that push boundaries with beautiful, innovative and beneficial ideas. These objectives align naturally with Bentley and challenge convention, and boldly drive towards a sustainable future. Our Beyond100 strategy also targets sustainable luxury mobility leadership by reinventing every aspect of the business, designing a future driven by new technologies, materials and skills, in the pursuit of a progressive new world.”

There are 17 project categories to enter. In addition, the ‘China Designer of the Year’ awards will reward six emerging and established designers or studios with names put forward by Dezeen Awards China judges. Sustainability is a core focus for the new Dezeen Awards 2023 globally, and all entrants will be asked to provide information about the impact of their project on the environment.

The awards will be promoted in China on WeChat as well as on Dezeen with both platforms used to provide updates on launches, key judges, core milestones and events.
