5. Double Chance to Win
There are not one but two opportunities to win in each category — the jury and popular vote give each entrant two ways to succeed. The winners of the Popular Choice Awards and Jury Winners are honored equally, and each year, the Finalists receive hundreds of thousands of public votes!
6. Feature on the A+List
All architecture winners are included in the A+List, our annual run-down of Architecture Firms to Watch. The list forms a definitive “who’s who” of design studios to focus on during the coming year. Winners in this year’s A+Awards competition will be featured in next year’s A+List, kicking off 2021 with a bang (and a TON of exposure).
7. Go Viral on Instagram
Every winning project is guaranteed to be featured on Architizer’s Instagram in the coming year. With 1.5 million followers and thousands of likes on every post, expect to go viral.
