Our weekly wrap-up of new design competitions worth checking out

We get it. It can get a little overwhelming keeping up with the dozens of new architecture competitions launching worldwide on any given week — let alone having to stay on top of the multiple deadlines for each and every one. That's why Bustler is here to help! At the end of every week, we'll share a quick selection of our newest design competition submissions that we think are worth a look, as well as some ongoing ones you might have missed the first time. Check out our latest competition recommendations below.

Photo Of The Year 2019
Registration Deadline: Saturday, Aug 31, 2019
Submission Deadline: Sunday, Sep 1, 2019

The potential of architectural photography – also as an artistic development – helps challenge the way we look at and work with architecture, and in an image filled world the photo is more relevant than ever before. This is the Aarhus School of Architecture's reason for launching a new international architecture photo competition for students. We call the competition Photo of the Year, a companion piece to the school’s well-known drawing competition, Drawing of the Year.

Open Call: Gatogether _ A new Community Center in Lima, Peru
Register/Submit Deadline: Thursday, Nov 14, 2019

DNADD and Techo share the same mission: build a new community development center.

It’s around this new centre that people will organise their collective while trying to improve the settlements where they live.
