WAN AWARDS AMERICAS

World Architecture News launched our Regional Awards last year to shine a spotlight on the amazing architecture being conceived and built in region across the globe. This year we're focusing our regional lens on the Americas and next year we'll be celebrating the Asia-Pacific region.

The Americas has become a hub for modern architecture and the WAN Awards Americas acknowledge and celebrate the diverse array of architectural styles, multi-cultural influences and the bold cutting-edge styles synonymous with the region.

Designed with this in mind, these Awards will recognise and shine a light on the amazing architecture being delivered by the innovative, visionary and imaginative architects in this region. 

There is still time to save on your entry if you submit by March. 27.
