Watch: What It Means to Win the CODAawards

Written by Matthew Bowden | May 26, 2026 9:44:42 PM

Winning a CODAaward means more than recognition. When a project wins a CODAaward, it is a rare and unique opportunity for the work to speak for itself. Every winner receives a professionally produced video about their project, screened in front of hundreds of fellow artists, commissioners, and industry leaders at the CODAawards ceremony during CODAsummit. It's an unparalleled opportunity to have your commissioned artwork seen, celebrated, and remembered by the people who matter most in this field. Curious what that looks like? Browse the videos from last year's winners below and see the kind of stories that can move a room. Then get ready to enter your projects – submissions end June 1st!
