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

A nominated project for the 2026 Think Brick Awards must have been completed within January 2023 till the submission closing date of 15th May 2026 and must be located in Australia or, if internationally located, built with Australian manufactured masonry products.
Each project may only be entered in one category. For projects that meet the criteria of multiple categories, the submitter must determine the most suitable category for project submission. This requirement does not apply to the ‘New Entrant’ Category.
No, the same project that has been submitted previously cannot be resubmitted for 2026 Think Brick Awards.
Unfortunately, previously entered projects are not eligible for the 2026 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. We also encourage entrants to include how the submitted project ties in with our theme.
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.
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 alpha 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’.
