Now in its second year, The Architizer A+ Awards are the definitive global architectural award program with 60+ categories. More than 200 judges select category winners and nominate five finalists within each award category. Those nominees are presented online, where design enthusiasts around the globe vote for their favorites. Winners like Vectorworks Architect software are honored alongside projects chosen by the jury.
