About the contest
The Best Pivot Door Contest honours the most exceptional pivot door projects in the world. From timeless designs to bold new concepts, the contest celebrates the craftsmanship and creative mastery of door makers, architects, and designers who work with FritsJurgens systems.
A pivot door is never just a door. It defines space. It deepens architecture. It invites curiosity. That’s why we build more than hinges; we engineer the freedom to realise your boldest architectural visions.
Jury and public vote
The three categories are Exterior, Interior, and Speciality Applications. Each category has two awards: the Jury Award, decided by an independent international jury of experts, and the People’s Choice Award, decided by public vote. The separate Showroom & Event Award is for installations that are not in daily use, such as trade-fair stands, exhibitions, and event builds. It is decided by public vote only and does not carry the same standing as the category awards.
So show us your masterpiece. Inspire the world and win a title in the Best Pivot Door Contest 2027.

How to showcase your mastery
Submit your entry: Fill out the submission form. After your entry is submitted, your project will be checked by the quality control team. We contact you if further information is needed.
Use high quality footage: Be sure to maximize your opportunities by uploading high quality content, shot by professionals. That goes for both pictures and videos.
Judging round: FritsJurgens will nominate 5 projects in each category, 15 in total, to an independent international jury of experts. The People’s Choice Award is decided by public vote. We will also shortlist up to 5 showroom and event installations for the Showroom & Event Award. The jury does not assess these; the public vote alone decides that winner.
The public vote will be held on www.fritsjurgens.com/bpd from late February 2027 until the winner reveal in April 2027.
What’s in it for you?
Awards and Certificates: Nominees receive a certificate of nomination. Each winner in the three categories receives a custom-designed award and a certificate of excellence. The winner of the Showroom & Event Award receives a certificate and a feature on the FritsJurgens channels.
Recognition and Exposure: The nominated and winning projects will be prominently featured across multiple online platforms, including Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, and the FritsJurgens website. Nominees and winners of the three categories will also appear on ArchDaily, Architonic, and Designboom.
