Enter the 9th Annual A+Awards
The A+Awards presents a massive opportunity for any firm that believes it has what it takes to stand out and be awarded in this year’s program. This year’s A+Awards is dedicated to showcasing “Architecture for a Changing World”, honoring truly forward-thinking firms — large and small — that are tackling the biggest issues facing society today. At this crucial time, the program provides a vital moment to be recognized as a leader, on the front lines of architecture’s evolution. As we approach the thrilling conclusion of this year’s program, here are 10 powerful reasons your firm should enter the 9th Annual A+Awards.
1. Gain global recognition for your work
A+Awards finalists and winners are recognized as the year’s most influential visionaries by not only our esteemed jury of distinguished luminaries, but also Architizer’s 7+ million strong online community of architects and enthusiasts.
2. Feature in the 2021 A+Awards book
All architecture winners are featured in the annual A+Awards compendium entitled “Architizer: The World’s Best Architecture”, published by Phaidon. The book collects the world’s most inspiring architecture, serving as the definitive guide to the year’s best buildings and spaces. Check out the 2020 edition of the book here.
3. Raise your reputation with clients and collaborators
Winners will also have unlimited bragging rights, with the ability to flaunt the iconic black and white A+Award winner’s badge across their websites and social media. It’s a stamp of approval that clients will immediately recognize.
4. Get your hands on the iconic A+Awards trophy
All winners receive a custom-engraved A+Awards Trophy, a remarkable showpiece crafted by some of the world’s best awards designers. We’re proud to provide a bespoke trophy that reflects our winners’ outstanding design ethos and achievements.
5. Win with the jury AND the global public
There are not one, but two opportunities to win in each A+Awards category — the jury and popular vote give each entrant a double chance 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. The Winners in this year’s A+Awards competition will be featured in our 2022 A+List, kicking off next year with a bang (and a TON of exposure).
7. Be a part of key architecture editorials
Every winning project is guaranteed to be published alongside other winners in at least one special A+Awards feature on Architizer Journal over the coming year. With each article being shared with 4.5+ million followers across our social media platforms, as well as our much-loved newsletter, expect to go viral.
8. Celebrate with your whole team
Winning an A+Award is a boost to every team member who was involved with a project. It offers a chance to celebrate with your team and recognize the value of teamwork. Just look at Ivan Marín Arquitectura (pictured above) for proof!
9. Establish your firm as a specialist thought leader
The winners of specific categories can say they are leaders working in a particular typology, working with a particular material, or working with new technologies. There are a number of highly relevant new award categories to enter this year, including:
- Architecture +Health

- Architecture +New Technology
- Architecture +Low Cost Design
These and other niche categories present a powerful opportunity to establish your firm as a specialist thought leader in emerging architectural trends.
