Official Rules.

The Zentrix Design Awards is open to anyone 18 years of age or older, anywhere in the world.

Both individuals and teams are welcome. Teams may consist of up to 3 members. One team member must be designated as the primary contact and submitter.

Zentrix employees and their immediate family members are not eligible to enter.

Entry is completely free. There is no submission fee.

This competition is void where prohibited by applicable law.

You may enter multiple categories. Each category requires a separate submission through the submission form.

Every submission must visibly feature Zentrix within the design. This is a core requirement of the competition.

The integration can take any creative form — Zentrix branding as a backdrop, the Zentrix logo incorporated into the UI, an animated Zentrix element, a "Powered by Zentrix" badge, or any other creative approach you choose.

How you feature Zentrix is part of the creative challenge. Subtle and bold approaches are equally welcome — what matters is that the integration feels intentional and well-designed.

Submissions that do not visibly feature Zentrix will be disqualified.

Website & Interactive Entries

• Live website URL is preferred. Figma prototype links are also accepted.
• We want to see working animations, hover states, and real interaction.

Static Entries

• Figma file, PNG, or PDF accepted.
• High-resolution only.
• Presentation is everything — proper boards are what make or break design. Layout, spacing, hierarchy, and how you present your work matters as much as the work itself.

Motion Entries

• MP4 (maximum 60 seconds), GIF, or animated prototype link.

All Entries Must Include

• Up to 4 supporting images (PNG, JPG, or PDF — maximum 10 MB per file)
• A project title
• A 200-word written rationale explaining your design decisions
• A description of how you integrated Zentrix into your design

Originality

• All work must be original and created by the entrant. Repurposed or previously published work is permitted as long as it complies with all other competition rules, including the Zentrix integration requirement.
• No AI-generated designs — this competition celebrates human design craft.
• Submissions must be the entrant's own work.

Intellectual Property

Entrants retain full ownership of their submitted work. Nothing in these rules transfers ownership of your intellectual property to Zentrix.

By submitting, you grant Zentrix a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, and promote your submission on design.gozentrix.com, Zentrix social media channels, and marketing materials, with credit to you as the creator.

Winning entries grant Zentrix a broader promotional license including the right to feature the work in case studies, press materials, and advertising.

This license does not transfer ownership. You may continue to use, sell, license, or display your work however you choose.

You represent and warrant that your submission is your original work and does not infringe on any third party's intellectual property rights.

Your Data Is Safe
