SUBMISSION PROCESS
The Call for Products is an online, two-step process. We recommend using Google Chrome or Firefox as your internet browser. Submissions via email will not be accepted.

Step 1: Registration. Complete the online registration form and pay the processing fee. In this stage, you will not be asked for product information or images. Once you have completed this step, you will receive an email with a link that will take you to Step 2. You may have to check your spam or junk folder for the confirmation email. To be sure you receive these emails, add digitalawards@zondahome.com to your email's whitelist.

Step 2: Submission. Follow the link provided on the confirmation email from Step 1, or log back into your account to enter product specifics and upload product images. You can save and edit your information prior to the final submission.

Note: After you have finished steps 1 and 2, your account will indicate under “Completed Applications” two applications per submitted product: one from the registration stage and one from the submission stage.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Product submissions must include the following:

• Completed registration form with entrant’s contact information
• Product description and spec sheets
• Supplementary information, such as press releases
• Digital image files. Images showing the product in silhouette (i.e., by itself against a solid backdrop), in an installation, or in an application are acceptable. Artwork must be 300 dpi with a minimum dimension of 4 inches. Appropriate file types are JPEG, TIFF, EPS, and PSD. No text or manufacturer name should appear on the images. Label the digital image files using the following file naming convention: Manufacturer_ProductName_ ##. Please limit your uploaded materials to a total of 50 MB.
  • Please note that at least one image should be on a seamless background. 

ELIGIBILITY
We welcome innovative products in a range of categories and submissions from domestic and international manufacturers alike. However, all submitted products should be commercially available in the United States. Only products that have been launched after January 2023 will be considered for publication.

Note: ARCHITECT will not publish products that it has already covered.

If you are a PR firm entering on behalf of your clients, ARCHITECT recommends creating a separate account (login email and password) for each manufacturer to simplify invoicing and payment. Email Shawn Gilliam at sgilliam@zondahome.com with further inquiries.
