AWARD DISCIPLINES
Architecture award management
Architecture entries combine visual presentation with information about a place, a brief and a design response. We help organisations plan an award around those requirements, with a coherent identity, entry journey, judging structure and approach to publishing the selected projects.
For architectural organisations, developers, design institutions, universities and cultural programmes.
01
Make comparable project categories
Built projects, unbuilt concepts and student proposals need different eligibility and evidence requirements. Define the relevant completion period, location and project type, then explain whether one project may enter multiple categories.
- Separate eligibility for completed work, concepts and student entries.
- Project typologies, completion dates and geographical scope.
- Lead practice, collaborators, client and photographer credits.
02
Specify the project presentation
Agree a presentation format that lets jurors understand both the architectural idea and its context. Plans, photographs, drawings and written evidence should serve the assessment criteria. Submission formats, document previews and file limits are scoped before choosing or configuring the platform.
- A concise project brief, site context and design rationale.
- Presentation-board or document specifications with readable drawing scales.
- Evidence requirements for accessibility, environmental performance or other assessed outcomes.
03
Connect expert review to publication
Choose jurors whose experience fits the categories and make the review stages clear. Criteria might consider the response to the brief, spatial quality, use and material decisions. Any site visits or technical verification need their own scope, timetable and resources.
- Category-specific assessment criteria and conflicts-of-interest procedures.
- A shortlist process, finalist information requests and decision records.
- Approved project summaries, image permissions and complete team credits for publication.
START WITH THE BRIEF
Questions to shape your programme.
- Will the award include built projects, concepts, student work or all three?
- Which project types and completion dates are eligible?
- What evidence should support the design and performance claims?
- Will the programme require presentations, interviews or site visits?
