The Architecture Drawing Prize has opened its 2026 call for entries, inviting architects, designers, and students worldwide to submit work ahead of the September 11 deadline.
Now in its ninth edition, the international prize is presented by the World Architecture Festival in partnership with Make Architects and Sir John Soane’s Museum, with support from Iris Ceramica Group.
The competition welcomes architectural drawings across a wide range of formats, including conceptual sketches, technical and construction drawings, cutaways, perspective views, and digitally produced work. Entries are considered together rather than divided into separate categories, with multiple winners selected alongside a special award recognizing hand drawing.
This year’s jury includes artists Ben Langlands and Nikki Bell, Iris Ceramica Group CEO Federica Minozzi, Make Architects founder Ken Shuttleworth, Lily Jencks, Sir John Soane’s Museum Assistant Curator Erin McKellar, and Narinder Singh Sagoo MBE, Head of Design Communications at Foster + Partners. World Architecture Festival Programme Director Paul Finch will chair the jury.
Selected winning works will be exhibited at the World Architecture Festival at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale from November 18 to 20, 2026. The overall winner will be revealed at the opening of The Architecture Drawing Prize exhibition at Sir John Soane’s Museum in London, running from January 27 through February 28, 2027.
Entries cost £149 plus VAT. Students and entrants under 30 are eligible for a 50% discount using the code TADP26STU30.
The deadline to enter is September 11, 2026. Full entry details and submission information are available through the World Architecture Festival.
