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.

Judges want to see websites and apps that  look amazing but not at the expense of usability. Outstanding UX means understanding the user and making their journey smooth, intuitive and enjoyable.

With most websites still failing basic accessibility standards, judges will be looking for features like high-contrast modes, voice navigation, and clear layouts.
