The internationally acclaimed CODAawards celebrate the projects that most successfully integrate commissioned art into interior, architectural, or public spaces.
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.

Criteria
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
