Free registration closes in
The application process is entirely online. Follow the steps below in order. Each step has its own deadline — missing a deadline moves you to the next fee tier, or closes your entry entirely. Read carefully before registering.
Apply here with the code IT2026-H4N7T9QBefore registering, confirm that your entry meets the requirements for the group you are applying to. Both groups are open to everyone: companies, universities, institutions, and individuals.
Go to the official DIA portal and create an account. Use the exclusive Italy code to register your projects for free. Each project requires a separate registration. The free window closes September 1, 2026.
After registration closes, the international DIA jury reviews all entries. Evaluation happens in multiple rounds: first a digital selection, then a physical review for finalists.
