  SUBMISSION TIPS 

  We have created a list of the very best tips through the submission process, demonstrating in this step-by-step guide how to ensure your design entry is strong and will make a positive impact on the jury:

  • Complete your user/company profile. Our system provides an auto-generated invoice for your submission fees, so please add your company address, e-mail, VAT number, etc. Also, share your company information, and any previous awards and accolades you have won!
  • As we have an international jury panel, the project description, credits, and other information need to be written in English.
  • The entry description is one of the most essential parts of your submission. Ensure it is engaging and interesting, keeping it as short as you can while still providing as much information as possible. Share the original idea for the design — the creative trigger — and how your project contributes to society or local communities, for example.
  • You can upload up to 10 images with each entry. Select some images that give an overall view of the Architecture / Design, and others that are close-up shots. Please keep in mind that in case you have a winning submission, the cover image (the first image you upload) will be displayed on the website “Winners Gallery” and in the Annual LIV Awards winners catalog, so it should be the image that best represents your entry overall.
  • Don’t forget you can also upload a PDF file with any additional project details, 3D drawings, product specifications, business plans, or any other information you may feel is important to share with the Jury. This is done on the Image Upload stage of the submission.
  • Credit all of the designers that took part in the project. You can also add photographer and model credits as appropriate.
  • Each submission category has many sub-categories for you to choose from and many entries would fit in multiple sub-categories. To increase your chance of winning, we recommend that you enter the projects in more than one sub-category. A 50% discount is offered when entering your design in additional sub-categories.
