On the final day, category winners from across all 43 categories will go on to present to the Super Jury to compete for World Building, Landscape, Future Project and Interior Project of the Year. The overall winners of this year’ s Special Prizes, including WAFX, will also be announced live from the festival.
WAF programme director Paul Finch comments:“ WAF continues to thrive with more than 630 entries to the Awards programme this year, despite global challenges. As ever, the combination of major practices and smaller firms, perhaps entering WAF for the first time, is refreshing, and the shortlisting judges were impressed by the design standards of the selected entries. We have also shortlisted designs for a host of special prizes, which will make for a stimulating set of presentations to our international judges in Fort Lauderdale this November.”
WAF will be in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for its 19th edition, following previous editions of the festival in Miami, Singapore, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Berlin.
