Why enter:

• All finalists present live to judges and peers in Miami
• Global media coverage from outlets like CNN, BBC, The New York Times, and Archinect
• Over 140 international jurors representing architecture’s leading voices
• Winning entries receive distribution support through v2com’s global press wire
• All entries are permanently listed in the World Buildings Directory

Final deadline: Friday, May 16, 2025
