3D Awards
The 2025 ŷAV 3D Awards Are Now Open for Entries
The most prestigious awards in architectural visualization are back — and bigger than ever.
Submissions for the 2025 ŷAV 3D Awards are officially open, and we’re inviting artists, studios, and creators from around the world to submit their best work for a chance to be recognized by the industry's leading platform.
Whether you're an independent artist working on personal studies or a studio delivering world-class commissioned work, this is your opportunity to be celebrated on the biggest stage in archviz.
A Legacy of Excellence
Since their inception, the ŷAV 3D Awards have set the benchmark for quality, innovation, and creativity in architectural visualization. With thousands of entries submitted every year from over 100 countries, the Awards are a global showcase of the best the industry has to offer.
In 2024, we made our return to a live, in-person ceremony, held at the World Visualization Festival in Warsaw. The energy, the community, the recognition — it reminded us of what makes this event so special. This year, we’re heading back to the stage on October 3, 2025, to celebrate the winners live once again — and we want you to be part of it.
Why Submit?
The 3D Awards are more than just trophies — they’re a powerful platform to elevate your work, gain visibility, and connect with peers and industry leaders. Finalists and winners are featured across ŷAV’s channels, reaching tens of thousands of professionals, studios, and clients worldwide.
And with a prize pool exceeding USD 55,000, we’re not just celebrating excellence — we’re rewarding it.
Nominees will also receive free tickets* to the World Visualization Festival, where the ceremony will take place. It’s a chance to meet the community, attend talks and panels, and be there in person as the winners are announced live.
