How to submit entries?
Entry is simple. Submission is online and can be completed in 4 simple steps:
Entries may be submitted in more than one category at an additional cost. No additional materials are needed for the same entry. In a few, such as campaigns that include a plan or report, submit the materials you presented to your client. If one is not available, offer a brief summary of objectives, challenges and solutions.
Submissions
Who is eligible? (Solo and/or Team)
How long should my entry brief be?
It is recommended that you keep your synopsis to approximately 350 words. We suggest you utilize this section of your entry to elaborate on the piece, as well as the creativity and originality of your idea. The brief should strengthen your entry, whilst providing the jury a better understanding of your project. A written translation or adaptation must accompany non-English entries.
Is there a limit to the number of entries I can submit?
There are no limits on the number of entries you can submit.
Can I enter my work into multiple categories?
Yes, you can enter the same work into as many categories as you see fit. There will be an additional fee for each category.
Can I submit a work that has won an award or has been entered in a previous iLuxury Awards competition, or in another competition?
Yes, you may submit work that has been previously submitted or has won an award. However, in an effort to promote the creation of new work and maintain a fresh flow of ideas, we encourage you to submit new work.
Can I send a sample of my product to the competition? If so, will it be returned to me and do I need to send a return-handling fee?
It is not required that you send an actual sample of your product to the competition. Images and a description of the product are sufficient.
How will I know if my submission is complete, and what do I do if it’s not?
If a submission is incomplete at the closing of the competition (e.g. the submission has not been paid, or incorrectly uploaded images), it will not be eligible. Although we make every effort to ensure the completion of submissions, we are not responsible for incomplete entries, thus being unable to offer a refund should an entry be incomplete at the time of the closing of the competition.
Can I make changes to my entry after I have paid?
Yes, you may edit your entry up until the judging period starts.
What is "Keep My Entry Private"?
If this is selected, your entry brief and images will not be shown to the public after it has been crowned as a iLuxury winner. You can only see the entry thumbnail when you browse the Winner's Page. We will not promote any private winning entries on our social media platforms as well.

The juries
The prestige of the iLuxury Awards competition relies in large part on the high caliber of the juries that convene each year to review submissions. iLuxury Awards has made a special effort to find a suitable panel of judges whose works exemplify the qualities of luxury. The jury panel comprises of experienced professionals in their field and industry, including creative designers and art directors from international agencies, architects, fashion designers, interior designers, product designers, educators, marketers or business owners, and exemplify diversity in professional experience, geography, gender, and ethnicity. All judges are selected based on experience, availability and credibility to their respective industry.
Judging criteria
Judges score on a scale of 1-100, based on the below criteria:
The iLuxury Awards and International Awards Associate Inc’s decision are final in its sole discretion and binding in relation to all matters relating to Competitions and may not be subject to any discussions or correspondence.
Judging process
Judging is blind. All entrant information is removed from entries to prevent bias/conflict of interest.
iLuxury Awards' judging process is designed to be impartial and free from outside influences by withholding both the names of the judges on its panel as well as the contestant's names throughout the entire evaluation process. This anonymity shelters all involved from any vested interest which may attempt to influence the judges' opinions or the judging process.
How we choose iLuxury Awards winners?
Entries are judged at random, without comparison to other entries in a category. The submissions are evaluated on criteria determined by the category’s requirements (see Judging Criteria).
To ensure high standards of quality, a category may have multiple winners or no winners. Work is critiqued rated by consensus, with the panel of judges determining a rating on a scale of 100 points. Winners with a score between 60 and 100 points are iLuxury Awards Grand Winners. Entries receiving an average score under 60 do not receive an award.
Levels of winning and number of winning entries
There is only ONE (1) level of achievement in the competition: iLuxury Grand Winner.
The number of awards presented by the iLuxury Awards are determined by the number of submissions in a given category, the scoring range and the number of tie scores.
How do I know if I’ve won an award?
All Grand Winners for 2025 will be announced on May 23, 2025 via iLuxury Awards official page. All registered participants can then login to see the winning works.
We will duly notify all award winners by email. Do ensure that your email address is correct, as our notifications may get caught in spam filters or receive a non-deliverable return. You may change your email address by logging into your account and updating your information.
What do the winners receive?
Each year, the iLuxury Awards honors the best in creativity from around the globe, while you give us a glimpse into the future of the profession.
Why must winners’ trophies be purchased?
The iLuxury Awards mission is to recognize outstanding creativity in firms that otherwise are overshadowed by large firms' budgets, which dominate most other luxury competitions. We also want to extend and encourage fresh and aspiring brands to enter and compete on their entering their respective industries.
The iLuxury Awards maintains affordable entry fees (the lowest in the luxury awards industry) to allow start-ups, one-person firms and young people the opportunity to enter, as well as firms from countries where the exchange rate or the economic conditions would otherwise make entering impossible.
If an entrant is recognized as a winner, there is no additional fee. Many other awards programs charge an acceptance fee. With iLuxury, once you've won, you've won; there is no additional fee.
If a winner decides they want a statuette, the iLuxury Awards makes them available for purchase and orders them from its manufacturer. This process allows the Awards to maintain low entry fees and prevent non-winners’ subsidy of winners.
Some winners choose not to receive a physical memento. Their priority is the prestige of recognition and the exposure that comes with it. Others choose to order statuettes for individuals on their creative team as well as their client. It's all up to the winners!
Statuette shipping time
Winner awards are custom-made. Statuettes will ship directly from the manufacturer. Please allow 8 - 12 weeks for the statuettes. Shipping time may be longer during off-season. Statuettes may be ordered from our online store once winners are announced.
Note: Entrants are liable to pay any inbound duties and taxes, should local customs authority deem appropriate. Most countries charge a custom/duty fee and taxes on products received from outside their country. We have no control over these fees and taxes. Please check with the customs department in your country.

Scam warning: Important information
There are many people and groups that attempt to obtain your money or personal information inappropriately through fraudulent means. Often, these people and groups misrepresent who they are in an effort to deceive you about the legitimacy of what they are claiming. Sometimes, although not always, they will claim that you have won a lottery or sweepstakes and ask that you send them money so that they can release your supposed winnings to you. In such a situation, you should be very careful and fully investigate any and all claims before you send any money. Please be aware that there are many scams that use SMS/e-mail in an attempt to defraud people using methods similar to these, and we warn strongly against your responding to this type of SMS/e-mail without rigorous investigation to establish whether it is of a genuine nature. Generally, you should treat unsolicited communication (e-mail, phone and letters) that offer financial gain with extreme suspicion; be aware that legitimate lotteries rarely, if ever, ask for a fee to release your winnings; you should not pay any requested fee in advance without fully investigating the matter; and you should not provide banking details or other sensitive financial information in response to emails, phone inquiries and letters without a thorough investigation. In recent years we have been aware of instances of individuals and fraudulent organizations that have been sending notices to people falsely claiming that the recipients have won a lottery.
These notices falsely claim to be from IAA (MUSE CREATIVE AWARDS, MUSE DESIGN AWARDS, MUSE HOTEL AWARDS, MUSE PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NYX AWARDS, NYX GAME AWARDS, TITAN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN PROPERTY AWARDS, TITAN WOMEN IN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN HEALTH AWARDS, TITAN INNOVATION AWARDS, TITAN BRAND AWARDS, NY PRODUCT DESIGN AWARDS, NEW YORK PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AWARDS, LIT MUSIC AWARDS, LIT ENTERTAINMENT AWARDS, LONDON PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, LONDON DESIGN AWARDS, EUROPEAN PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, iLUXURY AWARDS, VEGA DIGITAL AWARDS, FRENCH DESIGN AWARDS) and even have the name and contact information of IAA (MUSE CREATIVE AWARDS, MUSE DESIGN AWARDS, MUSE HOTEL AWARDS, MUSE PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NYX AWARDS, NYX GAME AWARDS, TITAN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN PROPERTY AWARDS, TITAN WOMEN IN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN HEALTH AWARDS, TITAN INNOVATION AWARDS, TITAN BRAND AWARDS, NY PRODUCT DESIGN AWARDS, NEW YORK PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AWARDS, LIT MUSIC AWARDS, LIT ENTERTAINMENT AWARDS, LONDON PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, LONDON DESIGN AWARDS, EUROPEAN PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, iLUXURY AWARDS, VEGA DIGITAL AWARDS, FRENCH DESIGN AWARDS) employees along with IAA (MUSE CREATIVE AWARDS, MUSE DESIGN AWARDS, MUSE HOTEL AWARDS, MUSE PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NYX AWARDS, NYX GAME AWARDS, TITAN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN PROPERTY AWARDS, TITAN WOMEN IN BUSINESS AWARDS, TITAN HEALTH AWARDS, TITAN INNOVATION AWARDS, TITAN BRAND AWARDS, NY PRODUCT DESIGN AWARDS, NEW YORK PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, NY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AWARDS, LIT MUSIC AWARDS, LIT ENTERTAINMENT AWARDS, LONDON PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, LONDON DESIGN AWARDS, EUROPEAN PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS, iLUXURY AWARDS, VEGA DIGITAL AWARDS, FRENCH DESIGN AWARDS) branding.
