Best Pivot Door Contest 2025

More than a hinge

You probably know that a FritsJurgens system is more than just a hinge. For instance, it provides our clients worldwide with the freedom of design to bring their architectural imagination to life. That is why we started The best Pivot Door Contest. To showcase what our clients can create using our pivot systems.

The Best Pivot Door Contest celebrates the unprecedented craftsmanship and design ingenuity of pivot door makers, designers and architects. It is our goal to both unveil their unique artistry as inspire the industry to continually push creative and innovative boundaries.

We hereby invite you to feature your finest FritsJurgens pivot door projects and showcase them to the world.

Submit for Best Pivot Door Contest 2025

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: Once your project is ready for judging, it is presented to the jury. This jury consists of last years winners.

The contest categories
We have three categories:
  • Best exterior pivot door
  • Best interior pivot door
  • Best specialty door (special application of FritsJurgens pivot hinges, like a rotating book shelf, wine cabinets etc.)
Images and video
Be sure your images and videos are of excellent quality. Only submit footage of a finished project. Under construction images and videos are declined. Add 3 images of the following shots:
  • Door in open position
  • Door in closed position
  • A detail of the doors.
You can upload over three images or videos of the door showing its functionality. Be advised, a professional video really increases your chances. After all, a pivot door is very much about the beauty of its movement. A professional video will capture that more profoundly than an image can.
Who can participate?
The contest is international. So, door-makers, designers and architects worldwide that have a project supported by FritsJurgens systems are eligible to participate.
Judging criteria
The criteria for judging the doors include design, application, overall contextual fit in its surroundings,  use of materials, and provided specifications. To name but a few. In the event of a tie, FritsJurgens will hold a public vote to determine the winner.
