2026 WallMag Awards
Where Design Meets Experience
Opens on Aug 7, 2026
The WallMag UI/UX Design Awards 2026 celebrate the designers shaping how India interacts with the digital world — the product thinkers, interface craftspeople, and experience storytellers turning complex problems into effortless, human-centred journeys. From mobile apps and web products to design systems and end-to-end case studies, this national award honours originality, usability, and the craft behind every screen. Every entry is judged by an expert jury alongside the WallMag creator community, so recognition is both credible and community-backed. Winners and finalists earn national visibility, partner-brand rewards, and a lasting place in WallMag's celebration of India's best design work.

What to Upload
Submit up to 5 of your strongest, original UI/UX projects. Each submission may be a mobile or web app interface, a complete product case study, a design system, or an interaction/prototype walkthrough — shown as high-resolution screens or a short screen-recording of the experience.
Authentic ownership: every project must be designed and fully owned by you. Present your cleanest, highest-fidelity work and, where helpful, the thinking behind it (problem, process, outcome).
Integrity first: any plagiarism, copied work, unlicensed templates, or AI-generated design passed off as your own results in immediate disqualification.
Q: Who can participate in the WallMag UI/UX Design Awards 2026?
A: Any creator based in India over 18 years of age can participate — student, freelance, and professional UI/UX and product designers alike, with no experience restrictions.
Q: How are entries judged?
A: Judging happens in two stages. First, the WallMag creator community votes on every entry, and the Top 100 entries with the most community votes become the finalists. Only after the finalists are announced does the expert jury begin — reviewing those 100 finalists to select the Top 3 winners. In short: the community vote decides the Top 100 finalists, and the jury decides the winners.
Q: How many entries can I submit, and must they be original?
A: You may submit up to 5 original projects that you designed and own. Copied work, unlicensed templates, or AI-generated design passed off as your own is disqualified.
Q: What do winners and finalists receive, and when?
A: Partner-brand rewards, WallMag Creator Magazine features, and recognition certificates — distributed within about a week of the winner announcement.
Q: Can I submit team or client work?
A: Yes, if you led or substantially created the design and can present it as your own. Credit collaborators, but the entry must represent your genuine design contribution. Q: How do I add proof of ownership to my submitted project? A: Open the award page and go to your “My Submissions” tab, then tap “Submit Proof” on the entry. Add a short statement confirming the work is your own, along with an optional supporting file such as your original/RAW file or source. You can do this any time while the award is open. Adding proof protects your entry during judging and is required later to unlock your certificate. Q: How are the Top 100 finalists decided? A: The Top 100 finalists are decided purely by the WallMag creator community vote — the 100 entries with the highest community votes become finalists. The expert jury does not take part at this stage. Jury voting begins only after the Top 100 finalists are announced, and it decides the Top 3 winners from among those finalists.
