Commissioned Art Matters - and the CODAawards celebrate this. The CODAawards program honors the individuals and the teams whose collective imaginations create the public and private spaces that inspire us every day.
Artists, Designers, Architects, Public Art Administrators, Art Consultants, Industry Resources, Technologists, Cross-Disciplinary Creators, Landscape Architects: Everyone involved in the collaborative process of creating artful spaces are encouraged to enter.
CODAawards winners are promoted by CODAworx through an international PR campaign, delivering unparalleled public recognition through print, social media, and digital presence throughout the year. It's not uncommon for award-winning projects to attract press attention this way. When you win a CODAaward, you're not just celebrated, you're thrust into the global spotlight. Working with our NY PR firm, CODAworx launches an international PR blitz, ensuring that your victory is broadcast in print and digital media.
This year, winners will be honored at the CODAawards Celebration Luncheon, part of CODAsummit in Cincinnati. Award winners will be honored in a live ceremony, have their work presented to all conference attendees and take home their award statuette, on top of free registration to the entire 3-day conference.
Our distinguished jury of luminaries in design and art will be viewing and scoring entries. From top architects and designers, to leaders in the art world such as museum curators and leading arts organizations, they represent some of the most forward-thinking individuals who are major influencers in our field.
Winners will have unlimited bragging rights; winning projects are showcased in CODAworx marketing, publications and events throughout the year and are tagged as CODAaward winners in all web searches going forward. In addition, winners will receive:
• A one-year CODAworx Pro membership (valued at $600 USD).
• Free registration to CODAsummit, October 16-18 in Cincinnati OH (valued at $850 USD).
Entries are reviewed by a jury of thought leaders in the design, architecture, and art worlds. Our jurors evaluate each entry on three unique criteria across ten categories:
• The integration of commissioned artwork into site-specific projects, completed in the last 3 years
• The strength of the collaborative process among the creative teams, commissioners, and industry resources
• The ability of a project to blend the art and design seamlessly to create a place as art, rather than a place with art
