About the contest

FritsJurgens Asia's first annual design competition is here, with the launch of our Pivot Door Sketch Contest 2025. This year, we’re inviting architects, designers and students to submit their best ideas for innovative, creative, and beautiful uses of our pivot system in a door design.

Your sketch must incorporate our pivot system into the door design, with it clearly visible in your drawing. The sketch must be precise enough for it to be possible to produce. Include a description or use case alongside your sketches to help us understand the concept.

Open the door to your creativity and the incredible opportunity this contest represents. Show us your design vision for tomorrow.
