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.
Public's Vote
Each of the three categories Interior, Exterior, and Specialty Applications, will honour not one, but two winners: a Jury Award, selected by a panel of industry experts, and a Public’s Choice Award, determined by the Public’s Vote. For the first time ever, the public will have their say. The Public’s Vote will be open during November and December.
So show us your masterpiece. Inspire the world and win a title in the Best Pivot Door Contest 2027.
