Launching two months early, this year’s program introduces a number of new features and categories to expand the competition's reach. New this year is the Emerging Awards, which spotlights innovative firms in architecture, design, landscape, and interiors.
The competition welcomes designers, architects, and students with projects completed within the last three years. Key categories span from Urban Design to Architecture. This year’s awards will also highlight projects with special recognition in Social Good and Environmental Leadership, focusing on social equity and resource conservation.

The People's Choice voting, meanwhile, will take place from April 17 to May 11, and gives the public an opportunity to influence the awards' outcomes.
