We’re seeking individuals, practices, and organisations that are fearlessly tackling critical issues and advocating for a better future. Whether you’re a disruptor like last year’s winner, Studio Bark or a passionate campaigner like the shortlisted Colectivo de Arquitectas, we want to hear from you.
We also welcome applications from data activists, community groups, charities, lobbyists, and anyone actively driving change within the built environment.
We are offering a discounted rate for charities or organisations that have fewer than five full time employees. Please contact marianne@archiboo for details.
