The Top 100 Public Art Projects of the 2026 CODAawards have been revealed! The CODAawards are the premier award recognizing collaborations that result in outstanding projects successfully integrating commissioned art into interior, architectural, or public spaces. Now in its 14th year, the CODAawards received 302 entries from 16 countries, representing over $84 million in commission fees for artists. Now it's your turn to vote for the best public art project in the world.
These 100 projects represent the pinnacle of collaboration between artists, commissioners, and industry professionals shaping public spaces worldwide. A distinguished panel of 14 jurors from the art and design worlds judged the submissions as extraordinary projects reflecting innovation, beauty, and impact at the intersection of art and design.
“The CODAawards allow us to celebrate outstanding artistic achievement in a direct and meaningful way,” said Toni Sikes, CODAworx CEO. “We are shining a light on the creative force itself — the collaborative ideas, materials, and forms that define today’s most compelling public art.”
