Architect of the Year Awards deadline extended
The deadline for the 2022 Architect of the Year Awards has been extended. Firms have been given an additional fortnight to get their entries in, with the final deadline now 5pm, 20 May. The two-week extension, which was decided on after many requests from practices keen to get their entries in, also gives firms an opportunity to start an entry even if they are yet to register.
There are 16 categories to enter, while a 17th award, the Gold Award for the Best of the Best, will be awarded to one of the winners on the night. Practices can enter an unlimited number of categories. After a fantastic in-person celebration last year, the Architect of the Year Awards is once again back live and will take place at The Brewery, London on Tuesday 18 October 2022.
