Why Participating in an Architecture Awards is a must for any Architect

 

If you’ve been keen on the happenings in the architecture and design industry of late, you would have seen that architecture awards have gained new traction. Several awards for different categories were bagged by many architects and designers in the recent past, participants, runner-ups, and winners were all celebrating their achievements in the awards. There was a lot of discussion about how each participant could improve their designs before next year.  That all brings the question as to how important is winning an architecture award to an architecture firm or design studio. Receiving an award for your work is an opportunity to improve your firm’s credibility, it adds value to your overall marketing collateral, and it also aids your studio in attracting more projects: which wouldn’t happen so easily otherwise. Having an award added to the project description on your company website adds a lot of value to your project. In addition to boosting your relationship with clients, awards can also help you in an effective talent search. Candidates are very likely to be excited about joining a firm that has won some good awards, the popularity will improve your online and offline presence.

No matter what the domain is, competitions lend a positive atmosphere for self-improvement. They also allow you to share your designs with a huge audience. Competitions are all the more fun when it’s on subjects like architecture and interior design that are aesthetics oriented. The yearly awards will keep designers on their toes putting creativity to the test every time. It’s a growing trend amongst the popping-up and established architecture firms now to take part in awards: every year, architecture and design firms and individuals are competing for prestigious architecture awards including the RTF architecture award. The fact that the title would attract more fame and clients for their firms is driving the demand— even simply taking part comes with substantial prospects in terms of client relations and marketing.

For the architecture category, the most popular awards are UIA Gold Medal, The Prix Versailles, RIBA Gold Medal, AIA Gold Medal, and Pritzker Award. Rethinking The Future Awards, Global Architecture & Design Awards,  Jane Drew Prize, Cooper Hewitt National Design Awards, Restaurant and Bar Design Awards, Årets Möbel Award – Furniture of the Year, Sweden, and International Design Awards are the sought-after awards in the interior design category. The awards are today putting the spotlight on women in architecture and construction. The motive is to recognize and encourage female designers: W Awards, Moira Gemmill Prize for emerging architecture, Ada Louise Huxtable Prize for contribution to architecture, Jane Drew Prize for Architecture, MJ Long Prize for excellence in practice, Tamayouz women in architecture and construction award, Rising Star, Design Leader, Women in Architecture Fund Award (WIA Fund Award), Marion Mahony Griffin Prize, and Wade Awards are some of the several architecture awards for women. RTF too has thought of women in its current edition of the awards. The construction category of the thirteenth edition RTF awards is inviting women in construction to apply for the award. Through the awards, RTF is also raising awareness about improving workplace diversity and inclusion.
