T
hank you to everyone who submitted entries and attended our inaugural ICONIC Design Awards gala last fall. It was truly an ICONIC evening celebrating the best of the best in our world of design. We are so excited to announce the awards portal is now open for ICONIC Design Awards 2025.
These awards are a result of a vision I’ve had since the inception of ICONIC LIFE Magazine. Our mission was to create the most exciting awards competition with a foundation of integrity, which is our highest priority. I’m so grateful to our national panels of judges who made this possible.
We lined up industry luminaries from around the country, most importantly NOT in Arizona, to serve as judges for our awards, specific to the categories. Architects will judge architecture and designers will judge design. These judges have shown expertise and excellence on a national level.
It’s important for to share a few distinguishing facets of our competition:
As the ICONIC LIFE Publisher, I am not voting, judging or adjusting any award winners. While we so appreciate the support of ICONIC LIFE Magazine through advertising, advertising is not taken into consideration as it relates to winning an award.
The special ICONIC Design Awards special issue that will be presented the night of the awards will be produced by one member of the ICONIC LIFE editorial team, sworn to secrecy and not allowed to share awards winners with anyone from the team. The rest of the ICONIC LIFE team will not be able to view any awards results or entries prior to publishing.
You can count on us to uphold the highest integrity in these awards. And count on an elegant and exciting night of awards fitting for the amazing talent that will be there!
