Cities Of Love Awards (COLA), established in August 2010, has launched the fourth edition of the award. To improve the quality of life and provide innovative solutions by individuals and companies that have contributed to the community, the award is now accepting submissions from all over the world. Aoyama Design Forum is proud to announce the partnership with COLA and will provide full support to the award.

The deadline for submission is June 30, 2021.



Award winners will be presented with a trophy and a certificate at the award ceremony. In addition, the award-winning works can be promoted internationally through the network of media partners of the Cities Of Love Awards (COLA).

Sustainability awards are often given to prominent figures such as government agencies, businesses and business leaders who have contributed to major reform projects. The impact is worthy and desirable, but on the other hand, we need to seek out and evaluate the contributions of individuals and small organizations.
