The City of Toronto is now accepting submissions for the 2025 Toronto Urban Design Awards, which are held every second year to recognize achievements in urban design, architecture, and landscape architecture.

This year marks a milestone; the 35th anniversary of the program, which will celebrate design excellence across the city.

Designers, developers, project owners, community groups, design students and others are invited to enter eligible projects in categories including elements, private buildings in context, public buildings in context, small open spaces, large places and/or neighbourhood designs, visions and master plans, student projects, and public art.

As a new category in 2025, public art aims to recognize the growing significance that artwork contributes to the animation of the public realm across the city.

Design students are also encouraged to enter theoretical or studio projects relating to Toronto.
