The submitted website or app must have been created or refined in the last 12 months.

Judges want to se writing that’s engaging and well-organized whether it’s an opinion piece or giving an insight into the personality of the practice.
More than metrics, they’ll be looking for tangible impact.– the comments, shares, and thought-provoking follow-up questions that prove the writing resonates.
Submissions can be from websites, social platforms like LinkedIn and Substack, or email newsletters – as long as architecture is the main subject.
Submissions need to be for writing created between summer 2024 and autumn ’25
