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.

Poem competition: "Poems of a Modern Day Architect"
Registration Deadline: Tuesday, Oct 8, 2019
Submission Deadline: Wednesday, Dec 18, 2019

We’ve all been there. Tight deadlines, frustrating clients, too much coffee and too many all-nighters. But we’re still here. We keep creating despite the struggles. For each one of us this journey is unique, but at the same time we share a common struggle - the urge to create. So express it. With a poem. Bee Breeders in partnership with ARCHHIVE BOOKS is asking you to submit a poem about what architecture is and what it means to be an architect in the modern world. Selected winners will receive monetary awards and will be included in the ARCHHIVE BOOKS “Poems of a Modern Day Architect” print publication.
