W Awards 2025

The W Awards are back and now open for entries. 

In partnership with both The Architectural Review and Architects' Journal, these awards celebrate exemplary work by women and non-binary people, from lifetimes of achievement to the work of those with bright futures ahead and from the design of the world’s most significant new buildings to contributions to wider architectural culture.

Three categories are open for entries:

Moira Gemmill Prize for Emerging Architecture

This category is open to female and non-binary practice founders who are under the age of 45 (born after 1 January 1980) and based anywhere in the world.

MJ Long Prize for Excellence in Practice

This category is open to UK-based female and non-binary architects working in practice and who have been project architect on a building completed in the last two years.

Prize for Research in Gender and Architecture
This category is open for research projects undertaken by individuals (of any gender) or collectives from around the world investigating the spatial implications of gender and sexuality.

Submitting work for the awards is both easy and straightforward. You can enter any category yourself or nominate someone else.

Entries close Friday 29 November. Find out more here.
