WAN AWARDS 2012

Celebrating Architecture Sustainably
Competitions and awards have always been an intrinsic element of winning new work for architects, but now, under the present economic cloud, it has become ever more important. The value of an award is determined not only by the quality of the jury panel but also by the number and calibre of participants.

Using the exclusive WAN database and contacts around the world, WAN acclaims to be able to pull together an unprecedented fusion of high quality architecture and internationally acclaimed judges drawn from both top architectural practices and experts from each sector.

WAN has driven architectural news into the 21st century and now with these awards, WAN is seeking to break the traditional mould of an annual award with a lavish dinner at the end. Whilst this format can work well at a national level, it is unpractical and unsustainable on a global scale. Taking a fresh approach, the WAN Awards are run on bi-monthly rolling programme by sector, offering a continuous showcase for the very best in international architecture and utilising WAN's global audience to provide maximum exposure for your projects, with the smallest possible carbon footprint.

Judging criteria
The jury will judge entries on a number of factors including originality, innovation, form and special quality, sustainability and context. They will also be looking for individuals that manage to incorporate fresh ideas and forward thinking into their designs whilst still keeping within the boundaries of commercial viability and sustainability. Another key factor will be the quality of the presentation; how the architect conveys his or her ideas to the panel will be seen as a vital communication skill.
