Architectural community
WAF is your passport to the international architecture scene

Finalists and award winners will also be published by WAF’s media partners, which include The Architectural Review and dezeen. What’s more all finalists and winners have the opportunity to work with WAF’s global PR team, FTI consulting, to increase their exposure in the international design press. Enter today to increase your global exposure.
Our website got 2 million hits after WAF! The press coverage has persisted for two years - across the full spectrum of the architectural worldwide press, and every worthwhile magazine.
