So it begins! You can now enter the 15th annual AZ Awards. The next edition of AZURE’s prestigious international competition includes ever-more reasons to participate: We’re planning more exposure for entrants by publishing our longlist (selected by the editorial team and local experts) online, which will be followed by the jury-selected shortlist. Enter your best work in Design, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Interiors, Urbanism, Experiential Design, Student Work and more! The AZ Awards website is full of details on how, and what, to submit.
Plus, we’re launching the EMERGING Awards category – a whole new way for young firms to get recognition.
