The importance of being recognised for delivering excellent architecture has never been more important when facing uncertain times such as we all are in 2019.

The future maybe uncertain but some things will prevail whatever the economic climate.

We know from feedback over the past 10 years that an awards win provides a significant boost to an architectural practice when competing for new business. The WAN Awards trusted and robust judging process and truly international platform elevates this advantage further and not only will raise the chances of being selected for a project but also ensure that your firm gets the all-important global recognition for its work.

Each year the WAN Awards welcomes entries from architecture practises from across the globe. All work entered into the WAN Awards will feature on the World Architecture News editorial website, so firms of any size can expect increased online visibility, and is judged by an international panel of leading industry experts.
