Register for the Vision Awards
Exceptional architecture does not come about by magic — it takes a wide array of professionals to help conceive a project, convince a client of its value, and communicate its essence once it is complete. Architizer’s Vision Awards is dedicated to the talented teams and individuals that enable the world to envision amazing architecture through photography, drawings, renderings, film and more.
The Vision Awards also seeks to honor theoretical works that might never result in a built project, but deserve recognition for the inspiration they spark. From fantastical renderings to intricate drawings, conceptual works tell powerful stories about architecture and form a creative catalyst for the profession.
The Vision Awards offers a range of accolades for firms, individuals and students. If you possess a passion for visualizing our built environment, there is a Vision Award for you to submit for.
Prizing: Publication in Print, Film Fest Premieres, Global Exposure and More
The Vision Awards provides a unique opportunity to see your work published in print alongside many of the world’s best architectural photographers, visualizers, artists and illustrators working today. The limited edition “Visions of Architecture” compendium will form an essential guide to architectural representation for design professionals around the globe. Meanwhile, winners in the video categories will have their videos premiered in Architizer’s Architecture Film Fest, a unique online event — more details to come!
Mock ups of the “Visions of Architecture” compendium, with winners and commended entries of Architizer’s former competitions: The One Drawing, One Photo and One Rendering Challenges.
