Entries for the 2026 Think Brick Awards are now open and will close on the 15th of May 2026.
This year, we’re celebrating 21 years of excellence in design with the Think Brick Awards! Our 2026 theme, Re:Form, reflects the timeless connection between bricks, blocks, pavers and roof tiles—materials that build, shape, and endure across generations, and from a ket part of our built environment. It’s about the stories we’ve told, the innovation we’ve fostered, and the legacy we will continue to form together. It's time to rethink how we build, reimagine what a sustainable built environment looks like, and reform our cities and homes in this image. Re:Think : Re:Build : Re:Imagine : ReForm
