HOW TO ENTER?
Entering the awards is simple. Please click the below “Enter now” button, fill in all the mandatory details, upload your PDF, make a payment and that’s it.
Your submission can be entered in more than one category, but the procedure and payment needs’ to be repeated for each entry. Projects and products can be entered from 2 years ago so you can resubmit entries from last year for our new panel of judges.
ABOUT THE APPLICATION/ WORK
Accurate information for titles and credits is essential for all submissions as it is from this that all FX publicity will be generated. Submitted information will appear on the FX and company websites, all promotional material, media coverage, certificates, and trophies. The awards are made for architects, developers, and designers, but please check if the client, or anyone else, needs to approve before submitting. We don’t want anyone to lose friends or business by winning!
If you are entering on behalf of a client, please ensure that the client’s details are clearly shown next to your own before submitting.
N.B If a photographer needs to be credited, please enter their details.
PAYMENT
Full payment of £225.00+ VAT per entry must be paid online. A VAT receipt and a confirmation that you have successfully entered this year’s FX Awards will be automatically generated and emailed to you once you have paid, so please have your credit/debit card to hand and use our secure payment platform. (Please note that VAT is only applicable if you are in the UK). If you’ve made it to the shortlist, we will contact you in October with the good news! The shortlist will also be posted online during the first week of October.

Please submit your entry as a complete PDF presentation with images and text (below 4MB). You can submit up to six pages as a PDF with an unlimited combination of images and text. But remember that large images can be more influential than lots of small images, so focus on your best pictures. Images should be first on the PDF, followed by how your entry meets the requirements of the category in the text.
PDF requirements for all submissions – read this for ALL entries.
