Entries for the 2025 Think Brick Awards are now closed.
This year, we’re celebrating 20 years of excellence in design with the Think Brick Awards! Our 2025 theme, Continuity, reflects the timeless connection between bricks, pavers, blocks, and roof tiles—materials that build, shape, and endure across generations. It’s about the stories we’ve told, the innovation we’ve fostered, and the legacy we’re creating together. Here’s to 20 years of honouring the past, present, and future of Australian design. Let’s keep building.
To learn more about each Award category and winners of the past Think Brick Awards please visit our Awards section here.
It depends on the category you enter the project into; you can find all the category briefs here. Award entries for 2025 are now open.

There is no cost involved in entering a project into the Think Brick Awards.
A nominated project for the 2025 Think Brick Awards must have been completed since January 2022 up to the awards close date, the 9th of May 2025, and located in Australia or, if internationally located, built with Australian manufactured masonry products.
Unfortunately, each project may only be entered into one category. Please select the category that best suits your project when submitting through the Awards Portal.
No, the same project that had been submitted last year cannot be resubmitted for 2025 Think Brick Awards.
Unfortunately, previously entered projects are not eligible for the 2025 Think Brick Awards.
Anyone can submit an entry on behalf of an architect, including members of the public, but the prize money (if won) will be awarded to the architect of the project.
Submission of an entry implies consent of all members of the project team to enter this competition.
If you are not an architect but involved in the project, you will have the opportunity to showcase your involvement in an award winning project.
We accept entries from building designers for the Robin Dods Roof Tile Excellence Award category only.
You can include relevant background information about your project, a short summary to describe your project, where it is, the reason why the project was built, what the client was looking for, what bricks/pavers were used, and the team involved.
The project statement should be around 100 – 250 words.
We will include the project statement in the Think Brick Awards Booklet and on our websites.
Any architectural studio entering the Think Brick Awards for the first time will automatically be entered into the New Entrant Category.
It can take some time to upload high resolution images to the Awards website.
We recommend you upload your high resolution images using a high speed internet connection.
If you have difficulty sending high resolution images to the Awards website, please email awards@thinkbrick.com.au.
All entries received will be printed in the Awards booklet and showcased visually at the Think Bricks Awards Gala lunch on a large screen.
The printed booklet will showcase your project and be available at the Awards Gala Lunch.
You can choose the word ‘Other’ in the Brick/Block/Paver/Roof Tile Manufacturer drop down menu (it is in alphabetical order so can be found by scrolling to ‘O’).
Then ‘other’ will appear as an option in the next two sections (collection and bricks used section) – then you can specify all the details in ‘Please Specify’.
Please check your e-mail for a link that will have been provided to you.
Please check the junk or spam folder of your email and if it is not there, please email awards@thinkbrick.com.au so we can confirm the entry has been submitted successfully.
We will also send you a copy of the Project Statement which confirms all the details.
