World Architecture Festival will now take place on the 1-3 December 2021 in Lisbon. We want to ensure WAF and Inside offer a safe and enjoyable experience for all our attendees. We believe our previous dates of 23-25 June may be too soon to guarantee this. However, we feel confident that mass vaccination programmes across the world will have proved effective by the autumn. Read the full announcement.
If you have entered the awards in 2020 you do not need to do anything and your entry is still valid. Shortlist judging will take place in June and you will be informed by 13 July 2021 if you are a finalist. All shortlisted entrants will go on to present their project in Lisbon in December.
