The acclaimed and prestigious WA Awards 10+5+X is open entries to architects, architecture offices, interior designers, interior design offices, architecture and interior design students from all around.

Here are 15 compelling reasons to enter the WA Awards:

1. The WA Awards will not choose a single winner. Two distinct judging processes evaluate your submissions: the WA Awards Jury, which is made up of a combination of our Honorary Members and earlier WA Awards Winners, and the other is determined by the votings of other World Architecture community members. 

2. A WAC feature piece announcing the submitted projects will be published. After submissions are closed for that Cycle, submitted projects will be announced in a featured story on WAC's homepage and WAC News pages.

3. Submitted projects will be announced on WAC's social media. The projects that have been submitted will be shared on WAC's social media platforms.

4. A different WAC article might highlight your project. After carefully reviewing all of the submissions, the WAC editorial team may decide to feature your work in a future WAC piece. 

5. There are four (+1) simple steps to submit your entry for the WA Awards: It takes 4 (+1) easy steps to send your entries to WA Awards. If you are a member of WAC, sign in (or sign up here if you are not), upload your project, make changes to it, pay for it, and submit it for the 52nd cycle of the WA Awards.

6. WA Awards offers affordable fees to enter. Among award programs, WA Awards has the lowest entry costs, and students can enter for free instead. View the fees for WA Awards here. 

7. Top-notch, printable Winner Certificate and Winner Poster: Each and every WA Awards winner will get a top-notch Winner Certificate and Winner Poster. 

8. You won't be charged for additional fees. You won't be charged for anything else after you've paid your entry fee for each project or cycle.

9. Your poster may appear in a WAC article if you are chosen as the winner: After winning the WA Award, your Winner Poster may be shared on our social media channels and included in a collage and story that are posted on WAC.

10. WAC will publish a featured article about the winners of the WA Awards. The winners of the WA Awards will be highlighted on WAC's homepage, News Page, and social media accounts, as well as on a special WA Awards Page. 

11. Projects from WA Awards winners will be distributed to other international media outlets. The World Architecture Community serves as an intermediary between possible publishers and the winners. The projects of all WA Awards winners will be distributed to interested international publishers and architectural journals. 

12. There are only three sections for participation in the WA Awards. The WA Awards 10+5+X have straightforward and constrained entry categories. Architects, interior designers, and students can submit their work in three main sections: Designed, Realized, and Student.

13. Winning the WA Award on a regular basis will help you get recognition around the world: WAC has over 2,500 projects that have won the WA Award. Regularly winning the WA Awards will boost an architect or architecture office's global presence and consolidate its place on the world architectural scene.

14. The dual jury system for the WA Awards increases the chances of winning: Since the judging criteria for the WA Awards is based on a dual jury system and selects multiple winners, you may be chosen based on the votings of WAC's fellow members if you are not chosen by the votes of distinguished WA Honorary Members and earlier WA Awards Winners.

15. There is a standard deadline for submitting your work to WA Awards. The deadline for the WA Awards is the same regardless of the category.

Don't you want to be crowned with the WA Award? So hurry up! Start your entry today! 

Submit your entries before Monday, 3 November 2025 (23:59 GMT +0).
