Healthcare Design is now accepting reservations for the 2026 Design Showcase. Now in its 26th year, the annual awards program honors the best of design and architecture in the healthcare industry.

The deadline for reservations is March 13, and project presentations are due April 3. Projects will be evaluated by a jury of architects, providers, and consultants, with the highest-scoring projects considered for awards recognition, including Award of Merit, Honorable Mention, and Finalist designations.

The winners will be recognized in Healthcare Design’s August issue and during an Awards Luncheon at the annual Healthcare Design Conference + Expo, Oct. 17-20, in New Orleans.

New in 2026, participants have the option to submit projects to be considered only for publication in Healthcare Design magazine. These projects are not eligible for awards; materials are due May 22.
