Call for Entries: Win “Project of the Year” in the 14th Architizer A+Awards!
Architizer is proud to introduce one of the most prestigious honors in our ongoing mission to celebrate the world’s best architecture: The Project of the Year Awards, a special accolade that recognizes the most visionary and culturally relevant buildings submitted to this season’s A+Awards program.
Selected from a shortlist of entrants by Architizer’s Editors, these awards will spotlight truly extraordinary architecture — projects that go beyond aesthetic excellence to address urgent challenges, elevate the built environment and embody the creative potential of the profession today. With the A+Awards now open for entries, we invite architecture and design firms around the world to submit their boldest, proudest works for consideration.
Getting your work in the running is simple: Enter the A+Awards by January 30, 2026, and make sure to opt in to the Project of the Year Shortlist during the submission process:
Global Recognition for the Most Impactful Projects
While every A+Awards entry is eligible for recognition within its typology, only a select few will be chosen as Projects of the Year — standouts that exemplify architectural innovation, technical mastery and a story that resonates beyond the profession. These projects may span every building type, sizes and region, but share a common thread: they reflect the highest level of ambition, detail and care.
Firms opting into this opportunity during the submission process will be considered for this top tier recognition, with final selections made by Architizer’s Publisher and Editor in Chief Paul Keskeys, Managing Editor Hannah Feniak, and others in our editorial team of architecture and design writers.
What Sets Project of the Year Apart?
In addition to the full slate of A+Awards benefits — publication in The World’s Best Architecture, global exposure via v2com’s press network, inclusion in the A+List, and a custom-designed A+Awards trophy — Project of the Year winners receive:
-
Custom editorial coverage on Architizer Journal
-
Priority consideration for speaking opportunities and events
-
Global recognition as one of the most influential works of the year
These exclusive rewards are designed to amplify the impact of your project far beyond the awards stage, giving your firm the spotlight it deserves among peers, clients, and the public.
Celebrating the Work That Matters Most
From the smallest spatial intervention to the largest cultural landmark, the past year has seen architects and designers shape our world in remarkable ways. The Project of the Year honor is a chance to celebrate those efforts — and to share them with a global audience.
There is a small additional fee to be considered — but the rewards are unparalleled. This is your moment to elevate the work you’re most proud of — and help define the future of architecture! Submit your project by January 30, 2026 to be considered:
