Whether you’re sketching out a chic boutique hotel lobby or reimagining the perfect street-food setup, the sixth edition is officially open for submissions. Early birds snag a 10% entry discount through June 30, 2025—so grab your best portfolio and let your designs speak for themselves.

A Global Stage for Hospitality Creativity

Since its 2020 debut, the LIV Awards have grown into a must?enter showcase that spans continents and styles. From snowy ski?lodges in the Alps to desert?chic resorts in Dubai, past winners have proven that great hospitality design knows no borders. This year, the call is simple: submit your most inventive “Living” or “Eating” project—whether it’s a concept sketch, an in?progress build, or a fully realized space—and see how it measures up against the best from around the world.

Living & Eating: Two Categories, Endless Possibilities

Craving some creative direction? The “Living Space” category covers everything from intimate short?stay rentals to sprawling beach resorts and co?living communities. Over in “Eating Space,” you’ll find room for fine?dining restaurants, bustling food halls, trendy cocktail bars—even eco?friendly food trucks. Judges look for projects that go beyond aesthetics, enhancing guest comfort, forging memorable atmospheres, and—new this year—championing sustainability.

Meet the Jury Squad You’ll Impress

The LIV jury reads like the who’s?who of hospitality design: Francisco Lopez?Cordoba (Four Seasons), Raul Tellez Casado (Minor Hotels), Carl Wee (Wyndham), Beatriz Carreto (Radisson), plus heavy?hitters from Marriott, Hilton, Accor and NEOM. These leaders bring deep insight from luxury resorts to urban co?working retreats, so you know your work will be scrutinized by experts who live and breathe guest experience.

Why It’s Worth Your While

Beyond bragging rights, winners take home the coveted LIV trophy, a winners’ seal, and a spot in the annual LIV Awards book. You’ll be promoted to over 60,000 design professionals and media outlets—and listed in the online Architecture & Interior Design directory for year?round exposure. Whether you’re a seasoned architect or a rising student talent, this is your chance to network, gain visibility, and add a prestigious accolade to your résumé.
