Best Use of Video

Judges want to see films about architecture that are inspiring and informative so it becomes a compelling and engaging experience.

They want to know how the film is explaining an aspect of the architectural design process that can’t easily be conveyed in words or still photographs. Powerful films also have a strong story that’s relevant to a wider audience and a clear narrative that has a beginning, middle and end

This category is for films over two minutes thirty seconds. If you film is under this length please enter the Short Clip category.

Videos must have been created between summer 2024 and autumn ’24.
